Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jasim Al-Thani and his Vietnamese counterpart Pham Minh Chinh at the welcome ceremony

Following the ceremony, the two leaders held talks.

Qatar is the final stop on PM Chinh’s trip to three Middle East countries. This marks the first official visit by a Vietnamese Prime Minister to Qatar in 15 years and comes at a time when the bilateral relations are flourishing, yielding numerous tangible results. However, both sides have recognized that there remains significant potential to further enhance bilateral cooperation, particularly in promising areas such as politics-diplomacy, economy, energy, tourism, and labour.

The visit aims to promote the relationship in a more comprehensive and effective fashion, particularly in market opening, high-quality investment attraction, and cooperation in labour, education, culture, sports, tourism, people-to-people exchange, and climate change response, as well as emerging fields like science -technology, clean energy, digital transformation, innovation, and the Halal industry.
