General Secretary and President Lam said the trip reflects the sincerity and importance the Slovak Government and people attach to the longstanding friendship between the two countries, marking a step toward a more stable and substantive phase in bilateral ties. He outlined key directions to advance Vietnam - Slovakia ties under their newly upgraded Strategic Partnership.
Accordingly, both sides should hold exchanges at all levels across Party, State and Government channels, plus people-to-people engagements, to further consolidate political trust. Economic, trade and investment ties should become the central pillar, with a focus on flagship projects in automotive industry, renewable energy, high technology, digital transformation and information technology, quality workforce training, labour cooperation, and local-level partnerships. Both countries should also leverage their respective gateway positions to access ASEAN and EU markets.
