Both leaders expressed their delight at the elevation of bilateral ties to a comprehensive partnership level during Lam’s visit.
They agreed to further enhance political trust by maintaining the exchange of all-level delegations, step up substantial and mutually beneficial cooperation to create a significant shift in economic, trade, and investment relations, and further uphold the role of the Vietnam-Mongolia Inter-Governmental Committee.
They will actively encourage firms to join trade promotion programmes and business connectivity initiatives in each country, aiming for stable growth in trade cooperation. The leaders stressed the importance of deepening people-to-people exchanges, as well as cultural and educational collaboration, while promoting broader joint work in labour, sci-tech, information and communications.

Vietnam always wants to step up its relations with Mongolia in all areas in line with the interest, potential and need of both countries on the basis of the sound traditional friendship between the two countries over the past seven decades, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and State President To Lam said on September 30.
Over 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations (November 17, 1954 - November 17, 2024), the traditional relationship between Vietnam and Mongolia has been built on a foundation of mutual understanding, trust, support, and assistance. Recently, the friendly cooperation between the two countries has achieved strong developments across all fields, continuously evolving and progressing.
