During their talks, the two leaders agreed to realise the two-way trade target of 1 billion US dollars in the future. The two sides vowed to urge relevant agencies to map out specific measures to deepen bilateral cooperation in the fields of their strengths, such as oil and gas, infrastructure, information technology and communication, garment-textile, farm produce processing and distribution, and seafood. They reached a consensus on actively implementing the agreement on investment encouragement and protection and signed new cooperation deals to fit new circumstances.
The two Prime Ministers pledged to give priority to cooperation in other important fields such as energy, tourism, education, human resources development, and cultural exchanges and to create favourable conditions for the two nations’ aviation agencies to exploit non-stop flights between Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
