Speaking
at the ceremony, Kuwaiti Consul General Khaled Al-Mutairi, said friendship has
helped develop relations between Vietnam and Kuwait in various fields,
especially economy, trade, investment and education.
The two sides will enjoy a stronger bond in the future, he stated while
inviting Vietnamese enterprises to invest in Kuwait, contributing to bolstering
two-way trade.
Meanwhile, Le Thanh Liem, Standing Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s
Committee, congratulated the Middle East country for taking the seat as rotary
chair of the United Nations Security Council in February.
He expressed his belief that based on the sound bilateral relations,
cooperation between Ho Chi Minh City and Kuwait will be enhanced. Ho Chi Minh
City wants to work with Kuwait in development assistance, labour and
education-training.
He hoped that Kuwait will become a gateway for the Vietnamese southern hub to
enhance trade exchange with other Gulf countries.
Vietnam is currently the largest trade partner of Kuwait in the ASEAN bloc
while the Middle East nation is among leading trade partners of Vietnam in the
region. Two-way trade in 2017 reached 350 million USD and the figure is
expected to hit 2 billion USD by 2020.
Vietnam and Kuwait are strategic partners in the oil and gas sector, with
hundreds of Vietnamese working in Kuwait in the field.

Seven years after the 12th Party Central Committee’s Resolution, Tan Lac district has seen considerable progresses.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce decisions regarding the apparatus restructuring of the province’s political system and personnel affairs.
Following the results of the military enlistment examination for 2025, Lac Son district has seen 100 young men and women volunteering to enlist in the military. Among these recruits, there are several families where two siblings have both written voluntary enlistment letters, eager to undertake the sacred task of protecting the nation.
As the Party Organisation and people of Hoa Binh province welcome the arrival of spring, they take pride in the remarkable achievements obtained under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), which turns 95 this spring. With a shared determination to build a prosperous future, they embrace ambitious aspirations for national development, joining hands with the whole country to prepare to enter a new era-one of national progress and advancement.
In 2023, the relic site where President Ho Chi Minh visited the Chi Hoa Production Group in Lam Son commune, Luong Son district of Hoa Binh province, was officially recognised as a provincial-level revolutionary historical site. Each year, it draws numerous visitors from across Vietnam and abroad, becoming a "red address" for educating young generations on the nation's revolutionary traditions.
According to the Party Charter, Party members who have been active in the revolution for a long time, and have maintained their Party membership for 30 years and more, will be awarded the Party badge. This is a noble reward, not only a source of pride and excitement for the Party members themselves and their families, but also a source of pride for the Party organisation that has such outstanding members who are shining examples for everyone to learn from and follow.
