Hanoi (VNA) – The state visit to Vietnam by President of Timor Leste Jose Ramos-Horta from July 31-August 3 will push for🃏ward bilateral ties across economy, agriculture, information technology and telecommunications, said Ambassador of Timor Leste to Vietnam João Pereira.
Pereira told the press that as a relatively young nation just celebrating 25 years of independence, Timor Leste has much to learn from Vietnam, one of the region's fastest-growing economies.
Shining a spotlight on Viettel Telemor, a subsidiary of Vietnam's Viettel Group, Pereira hailed the telecom provider as a testament to the robust cooperation between the two nations. With an impressive network coverage of 96%, Viettel Telemor embodies Vietnam's unwavering support for Timor Leste's development.
Looking ahead, he expressed eagerness to expand bilateral collaboration across various fields, with technology singled out as a top priority.
Following the state visit, the ambassador plans to embark on fact-finding trips to different Vietnamese localities to observe local development, particularly in industry, agriculture, fisheries, thereby gathering firsthand experience to propose effective solutions and cooperation agreements to the both governments. The ultimate goal is to achieve the best outcomes for both Vietnam and Timor-Leste during his three-year term.
On the occasion, Pereira also expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Vietnamese Government and people for backing Timor Leste's bid to join ASEAN by 2025.
He reaffirmed his country's commitment to resolving issues through dialogue in both bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
Timor Leste believes in a regional approach where shared values and a culture of dialogue help address problems and conflicts, he said, adding that the country hopes to become a full ASEAN member as soon as possible./.
