The two-way trade reached 14.2 billion USD in 2022, surpassing the set target, he said, expressing his belief that that the new target of 15 billion USD set for 2028 will soon be achieved.
The ambassador said Vietnam and Indonesia share the vision of becoming a high-income economy in 2045, and look towards net zero emissions, and suggested them make great efforts to reach the goals, saying close cooperation will create great momentum for the two nations themselves and the entire Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The diplomat said he hopes that Vietnam and Indonesia will reach the comprehensive strategic partnership soon, stressing this elevation will show their strong commitments to promoting cooperation and open up new opportunities.
