For his part, Mahyudin expressed his expectations for closer relationship between the two countries, especially between the Senate of Indonesia and the National Assembly of Vietnam.
He affirmed that inter-parliamentary cooperation is a solid foundation and the best way to strengthen the bilateral relations and expand the strategic partnership between the two countries, adding this meeting will contribute to creating synergy and improving the effectiveness of collaboration between the legislative bodies of Indonesia and Vietnam.
Mahyudin hoped that in the coming time, the two countries will work side by side and cooperate with each other to overcome challenges in the region and the world.
Concurring with Man’s view on bringing the bilateral trade turnover to 18 billion USD by 2028, he said that the two sides need to concretise goals to enhance competitiveness in the region, including the fields of digital economy and renewable energy, and create conditions and legal corridors for businesses of the two countries to develop together/.
