HANOI, Vietnam (MNTV) — Vietnam and Jordan agreed to strengthen parliamentary relations and expand multifaceted cooperation after talks between National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man and Jordanian House Speaker Mazen Turki El Qadi in Hanoi.
El Qadi, leading a high-level parliamentary delegation on an official visit from February 2 to 5, described Vietnam as a model of economic and technological progress and said Jordan places high importance on relations with Hanoi, seeking cooperation “without limits.”
Tran Thanh Man congratulated Jordan on its development achievements and its role in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, reaffirming Vietnam’s commitment to strengthening practical and effective cooperation across political, economic, and people-to-people domains.
He outlined Vietnam’s foreign policy of independence, diversification, and multilateral engagement, stressing Hanoi’s readiness to contribute responsibly to global peace and stability in line with international law and the UN Charter.
Both sides agreed to deepen political and diplomatic ties, enhance high-level and committee-level exchanges, and facilitate support for citizens and businesses, including exploring permanent representative offices in each country.
The leaders also highlighted their countries’ roles as bridges linking Vietnam with the Middle East and Jordan with ASEAN, pledging coordination and mutual support at multilateral forums, including the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the Asian Parliamentary Assembly.
On economic cooperation, Tran Thanh Man emphasized Vietnam’s interest in expanding collaboration in trade, investment, tourism, agriculture, education, training, and healthcare, while calling for support on technologies to combat saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta.
The two sides agreed to accelerate negotiations on bilateral agreements to strengthen the legal framework for cooperation.
Following the talks, the leaders signed a memorandum of understanding between Vietnam’s National Assembly and Jordan’s House of Representatives, formalizing parliamentary cooperation. El Qadi also invited Tran Thanh Man to visit Jordan, an invitation he accepted.
