During the meeting, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that today he held productive talks with President of Vietnam Vo Van Thuong on the main directions of bilateral cooperation.

"Today I had very productive talks with President Vo Van Thuong. We reached very important agreements that will strengthen our relations and cooperation in many areas. We adopted a Joint Communiqué outlining the main areas of our comprehensive cooperation. I also had meetings with Vietnamese businessmen. I firmly intend to support their presence in the Kazakhstan market. We will facilitate their activities in Kazakhstan, as we have a very strong and sincere interest in the long-term presence of Vietnamese businesses in our country. Vietnam is a prosperous country in terms of economic growth," said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
