President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President of Vietnam Tô Lâm in New York.
The Ukrainian leader stated that Ukrainians need the voice of Vietnam to restore a just peace.
The meeting focused on the development of bilateral relations and the expansion of trade, particularly in the agricultural sector.
Tô Lâm noted that trade with Ukraine slowed down in 2022, but last year it started to grow again gradually. He suggested that both states work to expand it in various areas.
“If the President wants and gives the appropriate impetus, I think it would be good for our teams, the Ministries, to work together and see what can be done to expand trade between our states,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
He invited Vietnam to sign the Joint Communiqué of the Peace Summit, and to join the work on the three points of the Peace Formula addressed at the first Summit, as well as to visit Ukraine.
The Head of State thanked Vietnam for providing USD 500,000 through international humanitarian organizations and willingness to contribute to Ukraine's post-war reconstruction.
