According to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in a meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov during his official visit to Vietnam, Azerbaijan and Vietnam have great potential for co-operation in various fields and therefore need to promote an intergovernmental commission on economic, trade, scientific and technical cooperation. Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said that Vietnam was willing to export its key products and import machinery, components and crude oil products from Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani politician suggested Vietnam research and open a new marine route through the Persian Gulf to Azerbaijan. He noted that Azerbaijan would make more efforts to boost links with Vietnam in a variety of sectors.
