Vietnam and Algeria agreed to upgrade their ties to a Strategic Partnership during talks held between Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his Algerian counterpart Sifi Ghrieb in Algiers on November 19.
The two PMs affirmed that both sides will strengthen the exchange of delegations at all levels in order to consolidate political trust and mutual understanding while expanding cooperation in various fields through the current cooperation mechanisms.
PM Chinh proposed both sides to foster investment cooperation, open markets for each other’s key products and boost two-way trade on the basis of balanced benefits. This includes Algeria facilitating Vietnamese enterprises’ participation in digital transformation projects and cooperation between the two countries’ businesses in telecommunications.
He suggested establishing specialised sub-committees on science-technology, digital transformation, healthcare, education and labour, and urged the two sides to support joint work between their enterprises through concrete, practical and effective projects.
PM Ghrieb affirmed that Algeria stands ready to create the most favourable conditions for Vietnamese enterprises and act as a gateway for expanding Vietnam’s economic engagement with Africa.
He underscored the Algerian Government’s determination to maintain and further strengthen the traditional friendship between the two countries.
