The visits are of great significance, affirming a new mindset and new strategic vision as well as the strong determination of Vietnamese leaders to take relations with the three key countries in the Gulf region into a new phase of stronger and more comprehensive development, deeper trust, and more opportunities.

The visits elevated the relationship between Vietnam and the three countries in particular, and the Middle East-North Africa region in general.

The official upgrading of relations with the UAE to a comprehensive partnership has opened up new development space for bilateral ties, expanding Vietnam's comprehensive partnership network to 13 countries.

Vietnam agreed with Saudi Arabia and Qatar to promote the early elevation of relations to new heights in the future, thus creating momentum for the comprehensive development of friendship and multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and these countries, and leveraging Vietnam’s relations with other important partners in the Middle East-North Africa region.

The visits once again demonstrated Vietnam’s strategic vision, strong commitment, and forceful actions in promoting multifaceted cooperation with the Middle East region.

They have broadened the door for Vietnam's exports, while attracting high-quality investment capital from leading investment funds and corporations in the world, and expanding cooperation in priority areas such as artificial intelligence, big data, green transformation, digital transformation, innovation, and Halal industry development.

During the trip, PM Pham Minh Chinh engaged in nearly 60 activities, including talks and meetings with senior leaders, ministers, executives of major corporations and investment funds of the three countries.
