PRESENTATION OF THE LETTERS OF CREDENCE - 23 décembre 2021

The Ambassador of Algeria, H.E.Mr. Abdelhamid Boubazine, presented his letters of credence to the President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, H.E.Mr. Nguyen Xuan Phuc, on December 23rd, 2021.

Receiving Algerian Ambassador, President Phuc said Vietnam always views Algeria as a leading partner in Africa, asking the two sides, during the diplomat’s term, to work more closely with each other to develop their relations in a more substantive and effective manner.

He asked Mr. Boubazine to help implement existing cooperation mechanisms such as the Inter-Governmental Committee and the political consultation between the two foreign ministries. He also called on the two countries to continue coordination and mutual support at multilateral forums, especially the United Nations and the Non-Aligned Movement, and step up trade and investment partnerships.

For his part, the Algerian ambassador noted the countries’ Joint Committee will convene a meeting to consolidate the legal basis for bilateral cooperation, adding that his embassy will organise an Algerian culture week in Vietnam and many other activities so as to help deepen mutual understanding on the occasion of the 60th founding anniversary of their diplomatic relations.
