In this spirit, Hang proposed that both ministries promote exchanges of delegations at all levels and ensure thorough preparations for mutual visits to boost political trust and create momentum for joint work in areas where Vietnam and Kyrgyzstan have strengths and potential.
The Kyrgyz Deputy FM fully supported this proposal and pledged to work closely with the MoFA and relevant authorities to prepare for the upcoming bilateral exchanges.
