Vietnam-the Czech Republic promote multi-faceted cooperation
In recent years, the two-way trade turnover has been modest compared with the two countries’ potential. In 2012, The Czech Republic announced a national export strategy for 2012-2020, in which Vietnam, the only country in ASEAN, was listed as one of its 12 prioritised countries.
The Czech Republic has so far 36 projects in Vietnam, ranking 42nd among 101 countries and territories which have investments in Vietnam with a total registered capital of 64 million dollars, mainly in the fields of real estate, beer, electrical equipment and construction materials.
During this visit, State President Truong Tan Sang and Czech President Milos Zeman agreed to continue strengthening cooperation in traditional areas as well as other fields of defence-security, science-technology, culture-sports and tourism, transportation, energy, telecommunications, agricultural machinery manufacturing, electrical equipment, healthcare equipment, construction materials, glass-crystal and food processing.
The two sides also discussed some regional and international issues of shared concern, including the East Sea. They agreed that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means in line with international law, the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) for peace, stability, maritime and aviation safety and freedom in the region.
