Dung said Egypt is an important trade partner and market for Vietnam in North Africa, with the two countries eyeing 1 billion USD in trade turnover in the future. He highlighted great opportunities for the two countries to boost trade, culture, tourism, and education cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges.
Locality-to-locality cooperation has been promoted in recent years, said Dung. Vietnam's Ninh Binh and Egypt's Luxor have signed a collaboration and friendship agreement, and their capitals Hanoi and Cairo will sign an agreement in the near future.
