President hosts welcome ceremony for Timor-Leste leader

Following the welcome ceremony, the two leaders started their talks to evaluate the cooperation results over the past time, and pen orientations for collaboration in the future. They will witness the signing and exchange of several cooperation documents.

This is the second trip to Vietnam by José Ramos-Horta following the first in 2010, and the fourth by a high-ranking leader of Timor-Leste.

José Ramos-Horta’s state visit is of significance to consolidating political trust while creating opportunities for both nations to continue discussing measures to boost their cooperation and deepen the bilateral ties, thus tightening the traditional friendship that has been nurtured over the past time.
