strengthening the comprehensive relation with the European Union,
especially in economics-trade, to accelerate the EU recognition of

opportunity in the two countries’ relationship.

suggested the two sides strengthen visits between their high-level
leaders as well as delegation exchanges to further foster bilateral
ties.

Vietnamese delegation will practically contribute to promoting the
friendship and cooperation between the two legislative bodies, and
create new cooperative opportunities in the bilateral relations as well
as the regional and international cooperation.
