President Cuong extends a warm welcome, inviting Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah to the podium of honor for the flag salute ceremony.

The esteemed leaders jointly inspect the guard of honor from the Vietnam People’s Army, symbolizing mutual respect and solidarity.

Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah’s State visit underscores the robust and expanding bilateral ties, marked by significant strides across diverse cooperative domains.

A pivotal moment arrived in 2019 when both nations elevated their ties to a Comprehensive Partnership during the Sultan’s State visit to Vietnam.

Since this upgrade, the partnership has mirrored both nations’ dedication to deepening collaboration in harmony with regional and global dynamics.

The Sultan’s 2025 visit is poised to bolster political trust and broaden cooperation across sectors, including diplomacy, defense, trade, investment, education, culture, Halal standards, and cultural exchanges.

Both parties will engage in discussions on regional and global matters, fortifying ASEAN unity, upholding its central role, and enhancing coordination within the UN and various trade agreements.

Vietnam’s gracious reception of the Sultan highlights its steadfast foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, and proactive global integration, reaffirming the value placed on ASEAN alliances, particularly with Brunei.
