Viet Nam and Türkiye should further deepen their collaboration, including in the defence industry, to contribute positively to overall bilateral relations for the shared benefit and for peace, cooperation, and development in their respective regions and the world, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh told visiting President of the Turkish Defence Industry Agency Haluk Görgün during their meeting in Ha Noi on October 14.

Viet Nam is placing strong emphasis on developing a Halal ecosystem, identifying it as a strategic direction that would not only open new export opportunities but also enhance the country’s position in the global value chain.

The Turkish leader perceived that both countries are now in a favourable position to elevate their relations to a new height.

Viet Nam and Türkiye should step up delegation exchanges, particularly at the high level and among ministries, sectors, and localities, while further promoting economic, investment, and trade cooperation in areas where they have strengths and can complement each other, said State President Luong Cuong.
