President Tran Dai
Quang made the statement at a reception for outgoing Bulgarian Ambassador to
Vietnam Ebgueni Stefanov Stoytchev in Hanoi on September 28.
He recognised the ambassador’s active and effective contributions to promoting
the bilateral cooperation in various fields such as politics, external affairs,
economy, trade, security, defence and local collaboration along with the two
countries’ close coordination at multilateral forums and international
organisations.
The President hailed the role and position of Bulgaria in the European Union
(EU). As Bulgaria took over the rotational presidency of the EU Council in
January 2018, President Quang proposed the country support Vietnam in
bolstering partnership with the EU and early reaching the signing and
ratification of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).
Highlighting the sound traditional friendship and multi-faceted cooperation
between Vietnam and Bulgaria, he suggested the two sides maintain all-level
delegation exchanges to discuss measures to intensify the bilateral rapports.
He urged the two countries to soon conduct the 24th meeting of the
inter-governmental committee on economic, trade and scientific cooperation with
the implementation of practical and specific projects with a view to increasing
two-way trade in the coming time.
Vietnam and Bulgaria should encourage cooperation among training facilities and
increase the number of annual scholarships, he suggested.
He thanked Bulgaria for backing Vietnam’s bid to become a member of the UNESCO
Executive Council in the 2015-2019 period and the UN Economic and Social
Council (ECOSOC) for 2016-2018, as well as a non-permanent member of the UN
Security Council for 2020-2021.
For his part, Ambassador Stoytchev affirmed that Vietnam and Bulgaria are
traditional friends and Bulgaria always supports Vietnam at international
forums and organisations.
As a member of the EU, Bulgaria will back relations between the EU and Vietnam
and believes that the EVFTA will create more economic and trade cooperation
opportunities for both sides once ratified, he said.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh’s visit to
Bulgaria, he said, adding that a wide range of activities have been carried out
across his country to celebrate this event, including a photo exhibition on the
life and revolutionary career of the President.
