President Quang said he hopes that Belarus will continue supporting Vietnamese
nationals living in the country.
President Lukashenko, in turn said his nation regards Vietnam as a long-term
cooperative partner, and the two sides have reached consensus on boosting
bilateral cooperation through the exchange of delegations and linkages between localities.
He highlighted the growth in bilateral economic-trade ties, noting that the FTA

achieve the goal of US$500 million in two-way trade in the time ahead.
He said both sides will work harder to increase Vietnam’s exports to Belarus
apart from farm produce, machinery and automobiles, as well as Belarus’s
farming tractor supply to Vietnam, adding that they will also consider joint
projects in each other’s territory.

including those in the East Sea by peaceful measures without using force or
threat to use force, with the participation of all sides concerned. He said he
welcomes efforts to soon achieve a Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC).
He expressed his belief that the official visit to Belarus by President Quang
will definitely create a new impulse to the Vietnam-Belarus cooperation to grow
robustly across sectors, thus providing a solid foundation for the bilateral
ties to reach a new height, meeting their people’s aspiration and interest, for
peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world as a
whole.
