The joint statement wrote that Lam and Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris updated each other on domestic developments, discussed ways to further advance bilateral relations, and exchanged views on international and regional issues of mutual interest.

Harris expressed condolences on behalf of the Irish people on the recent devastation and loss of life caused by Typhoon Yagi, and affirmed that Ireland is willing to give support to the emergency response at this difficult time.

The two leaders acknowledged that the state visit is an important milestone after nearly 30 years of diplomatic relations, and affirmed the importance of further strengthening Vienam-Ireland relations. They agreed to work for the prosperity and inclusive development of both countries, and for peace, cooperation and development globally, in accordance with the fundamental principles of international law and the United Nations Charter.

They recognised the importance of high-level visits and regular exchanges, and were unanimous in the maintenance of cooperation between the two Foreign Ministries, including through the bilateral consultations mechanism signed by their respective Foreign Ministers in February 2024.

The two sides welcomed the establishment of an Ireland-Viet Nam Parliamentary Friendship Group and a Viet Nam – Ireland Parliamentary Friendship Group, which will foster greater understanding between the two countries’ parliaments.

Both leaders greatly appreciated the bridging role and positive contributions of the Vietnamese community in Ireland and the Irish community in Viet Nam.

They reiterated the importance of cooperation in the face of security threats, and agreed that the two countries will increase exchanges, promote cooperation in the field of cyber security and prevention of transnational organised crime.

Both sides acknowledged the importance of the promotion of human rights, taking into account each country’s characteristics and law and their international obligations.

They also welcomed the new Sectoral Strategic Partnership in Higher Education and affirmed the importance of building a comprehensive partnership framework at the appropriate time.

The two leaders welcomed the significant and growing trade relationship between Viet Nam and Ireland. They reaffirmed the importance of the full implementation of the EU-Viet Nam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and discussed the value of the Vietnam - EU Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA), which will contribute to favourable trade and investment conditions between both countries.

Party General Secretary and State President To Lam thanked the Irish Government for its development cooperation programme, which has supported Viet Nam in achieving many development goals ahead of schedule. The Irish Prime Minister affirmed his country will continue supporting Viet Nam in various fields. Viet Nam greatly appreciates Ireland's support in research and technical assistance in the agricultural sector.

Both sides welcomed the potential for cooperation in promoting innovation, digital transformation, climate change adaptation, the development of high-quality human resources, and other areas of mutual interest.

They agreed on the value of cultural and artistic exchanges, tourism promotion, and people-to-people exchanges, which contribute to enhancing mutual understanding and fostering friendship between the two nations.

Both parties committed to strengthening coordination and mutual support at international and regional forums, particularly the United Nations and the ASEAN-EU framework. They expressed their support for a united, strong, and prosperous ASEAN community playing a central role in regional architecture and enhancing the ASEAN-EU Strategic Partnership.

The two sides reaffirmed the importance of maintaining peace, stability, security, and freedom of navigation and overflight in the East Sea, and the importance of resolving disputes by peaceful means, and in accordance with international law, in particular UNCLOS 1982. They emphasised the need to establish a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
