The discussion centered on topics stemming from the political consultations between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan and Vietnam, held in Baku on 21 April this year.
The talks focused on the potential for enhancing cooperation in various areas, including politics, trade and economy, energy, agriculture, transport, and humanitarian efforts.

He also stressed the importance of strengthening ties between the two countries' parliaments.
