HÀ NỘI — Minister of Foreign Affairs Bùi Thanh Sơn and his Tongan counterpart Fekitamoeloa Utoikamanu witnessed the signing of the Joint Communiqué on the establishment of Việt Nam-Tonga diplomatic ties by the two ambassadors - heads of the missions of the two countries to the United Nations, in New York on Thursday (local time).

With this move, Việt Nam has so far formed diplomatic ties with 193 countries globally.

Minister Sơn stressed that the event marks a historic milestone in the relationship between the two countries, laying a crucial foundation for the future development of bilateral ties and meeting the practical interests of their people for the sake of peace, cooperation and friendship in the region and the world.

To harness the potential of bilateral cooperation, he proposed that both sides facilitate visits at all levels and consider the establishment of mechanisms for periodic bilateral exchange to create a framework for long-term cooperation, especially in fields with huge potential like economy, trade and tourism.

Sơn also invited the Tongan FM to pay an official visit to Việt Nam.

Minister Utoikamanu, for her part, believed that there is significant potential and room for bilateral collaboration.

Agreeing with Sơn’s proposals, she wished both countries would step up cooperation in areas of mutual interest such as tourism, climate change response and aquaculture.

The two ministers agreed to offer mutual support at multilateral forums and develop relations between ASEAN and Pacific island countries.
