Politburo member Nguyen Xuan Thang met the Azerbaijani ambassador in Hanoi on Tuesday (1 October). Thang said that this year marks a big anniversary in the relationship between Vietnam and Azerbaijan. It is the 65th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's visit to Baku. Thang reaffirmed Vietnam’s commitment to strengthening its friendship and cooperation with traditional allies like Azerbaijan.
Thang expressed his hope that Ambassador Mehdizade would facilitate links between Azerbaijani educational institutions and the Academy to promote cooperation in areas such as student exchanges and short and long-term academic programmes. He encouraged greater theoretical exchange between his Academy and its Azerbaijani counterparts in order to find common ground on international issues.
Ambassador Mehdizade expressed optimism about expanding cooperation in education, as well as in the economic, trade and scientific-technical fields. He specifically mentioned potential cooperation between Azerbaijani institutions, including the Academy of Public Administration under the President of Azerbaijan and units of the HCMA, to further strengthen Vietnam-Azerbaijan relations for the benefit of both nations.
