Ammon News - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs Ayman Safadi held extensive talks on Thursday with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung, focusing on mechanisms to implement the outcomes of His Majesty King Abdullah II’s meetings with the Vietnamese leadership on strengthening bilateral cooperation.

The discussions, held on the sidelines of King Abdullah’s visit to Vietnam, centered on increasing collaboration across key sectors, including trade, investment, health, education, and tourism.

The two ministers agreed to convene the first session of political consultations next year to establish a roadmap for expanding cooperation in these fields and ensuring the King’s discussions with the Vietnamese leadership are translated into concrete, mutually beneficial actions.

Safadi and Trung also reviewed prospective agreements aimed at creating the necessary legal frameworks to enhance private-sector cooperation between the two countries.

The talks further addressed regional developments, with a particular focus on efforts to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza, end the ongoing humanitarian crisis, and begin implementing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.

Safadi expressed Jordan’s appreciation for Vietnam’s consistent support of efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the region based on the two-state solution and in accordance with international legitimacy and international law.

On Wednesday, the two ministers signed two memorandums of understanding, one establishing political consultations between the two foreign ministries and another enhancing cooperation between the Jordanian Diplomatic Institute and the Vietnamese Diplomatic Academy.
