Phan Anh Son said that NPSC and Vietnam shared common visions of development, ideology, communism, and socialism. With the belief that people-to-people diplomacy is an important foundation for bilateral relations, Phan Anh Son hopes to strengthen people-to-people exchange activities between Vietnam and Nepal. VUFO and the Vietnam - Nepal Friendship Association must promote connections with Nepali partners, especially NPSC, to achieve practical cooperation.
The two sides need to propose cooperation between the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam and its Nepali partner, through which more Vietnamese people choose Nepal as a tourist destination. The two sides need to propose opening diplomatic representative offices in the Vietnamese and Nepali territories.
