Abu Dhabi (VNA) – Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh received Sheikh Mansour bin Mohammed bin Buti Al Hamed, CEO of Mubadala Energy, in Abu Dhabi on October 29 as part of his official visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The PM said the relationship between Vietnam and the UAE is flourishing and built on mutual trust. He noted that the recent establishment of a Comprehensive Partnership and the signing of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) provide a crucial foundation for businesses of both countries to expand cooperation and investment.
He commended Mubadala's operations and effective cooperation and investment in Vietnam in recent times, and affirmed his support for its vision and commitment to responsible investment.
The Vietnamese leader urged the group to step up its investment activities and serve as a bridge for UAE investors, as well as foreign investors, to engage in Vietnam in such key areas as transport infrastructure, climate change response, digital infrastructure, urban infrastructure, industry, services; traditional energy sectors like oil and gas, and renewable energy; and emerging fields, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and Internet of Things; as well as developing financial centres and free trade zones; and policy consultancy and institution building and perfection to mobilise resources, particularly through the public-private partnership.
For his part, Al Hamed said the group is interested in cooperation with Vietnam, particularly in infrastructure, AI, and energy.
Mubadala's strategy is to increase investments in Asia, focusing on infrastructure, oil and gas, maritime ports, electricity, technology, and transport, he said, expressing his desire to discuss specific projects with Vietnam, particularly those with the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.
With this commitment and eagerness, Mubadala plans to send a delegation to Vietnam in the near future with a list of proposed projects, he said.
PM Chinh highlighted the Vietnamese Government’s efforts in improving the domestic investment environment and streamlining administrative procedures, 🍰as well as its commitments to facilitating foreign investment, including that by Mubadala./.

The freshly-signed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will not only mark a breakthrough in bilateral economic and trade cooperation but also serve as a strong impetus to attract substantial investment from the Middle Eastern nation in such sectors as energy, industry, high technology, and supply chain development.
The freshly-signed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) opens up a new era of the bilateral relationship that has been upgraded to a comprehensive partnership and growing substantively.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.

The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
The ministry has instructed Vietnamese representative agencies in Israel, Iran, as well as those in neighbouring countries, to closely monitor the situation and request local authorities to ensure absolute safety for Vietnamese citizens living, studying, and working in high-risk areas.
