(VOVworld) - Vietnam and Poland should continue expanding cooperation in their fields of strength and those they have demand for, such as tourism, education, food processing, and climate change response, as they have yet to fully tap their cooperative potential.

The suggestion was made by National Assembly Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu at his meetings with Polish Deputy Marshal of the Sejm (lower house), Malgorzata Kidawa-Blonska, Deputy Marshal of the Senate Adam Bielan, Chairman of the Sejm’s Foreign Affairs Committee Grzegorz Schetyna, and Deputy Chairman of the Senate’s Foreign and European Union Affairs, Ryszard Majer.

Luu said that he and Polish parliamentary leaders agreed that Vietnam and Poland have seen strong developments in bilateral relations in recent years, especially in trade and investment.

Poland is currently Vietnam’s leading trade partner in Central and Eastern Europe with two-way trade reaching 761 million USD last year.

Luu said that the Vietnamese State, National Assembly, and people continually attach importance to maintaining and developing multi-faceted cooperation with Poland.

Both hosts and guest agreed that the two legislative bodies should maintain close coordination at multi-lateral forums.

National Assembly Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu is on a working visit to Poland which will conclude on Saturday.
