Ulaanbaatar, October 2, 2025 /MONTSAME/. Deputy Chairman of the State Great Khural (Parliament) of Mongolia, Purevdorj Bukhchuluun, received Vice Chairman of the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Tran Quang Phuong, and his accompanying delegation on October 1, 2025.

On the historic 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership was established last year, and this visit is notable as it is being undertaken at the level of the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam for the first time in ten years. The Deputy Chairman welcomed the distinguished guests and underlined that the traditional friendly relations between Mongolia and Vietnam have been enriched with new content and diversified forms of cooperation.

He commended Vietnam’s rapid economic development, achieved through the collective efforts of its people and consistent policies based on solidarity and consensus. Highlighting that the two countries’ economies are complementary, he noted the ample opportunities to expand trade turnover and investment.

Deputy Chairman Purevdorj emphasized that the ongoing visit holds significant importance in strengthening the legal foundations of mutually beneficial cooperation in trade, economy, production, and investment sectors. The Vice Chairman Tran Quang Phuong expressed gratitude for the warm and cordial welcome extended to him in the land of the eternal blue sky and stated that he is delighted to be paying a visit together with the delegation of the National Assembly at such a favorable time in the historic traditional relations of the two countries. He conveyed that the Vietnamese people have always remembered with gratitude and appreciation the moral and material assistance and support extended by the Mongolian people during historical periods of the relationship, particularly in times of hardship.

In this regard, taking into consideration the strong ties of relations and cooperation between the two countries, as well as all resources and opportunities, the sides concurred that the current volume of trade turnover remains insufficient.

Deputy Chairman Purevdorj underlined that there is full potential to increase the supply of meat and meat products to the market of Vietnam and expressed his commitment to prioritizing bringing the trade imbalance to an appropriate level in the future.
