During his stay, PM Golovchenko and Vietnamese leaders will review bilateral cooperation, and discuss steps to bolster ties between the two countries.

Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1992, Vietnam and Belarus have been maintaining and developing their traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation with an increasingly high level of trust.

The two sides are collaborating in numerous areas, ranging from national defence to economy, trade, culture, education, sci-tech, people-to-people and locality-to-locality exchanges.

The two countries have established a solid legal framework to promote cooperation in various fields, with about 50 cooperation agreements, including international treaties and agreements between ministries and agencies.
