Mr. Chinh congratulated Qatar on its outstanding success under the judicious and sound leadership of the Emir, helping Qatar develop rapidly and sustainably, with a modern economy, strong national security and defense, and an increasingly important role in the international arena.
Affirming that there are no limits in its relations with Vietnam, the Emir said Qatar is always open to cooperation activities with Vietnam and suggested that the two sides seek new areas of cooperation.
PM Chinh said that with a population of over 100 million, Vietnam can supply Qatar with a high-quality workforce. He asked that Qatar provide more scholarships for Vietnamese students to study Arabic and encouraged greater cooperation in digital transformation, green transition, and the circular economy.
