A Steady Climb: Vietnam - Turkey Diplomatic Ties On The Rise
🔥 Straight up, Vietnam's new ambassador, Đặng Thị Thu Hà, handed her credentials to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 1 (local time) - marking a fresh chapter in the growing Vietnam - Turkey bond.
📣 Let me fill you in, old sport. Erdoğan welcomed Hà with open arms, spinning a tale of the potential for shared growth within various sectors, particularly trade. He aimed high, pronouncing his hope for a continuous surge in our bilateral trade numbers.
🛡️ The President zeroed in on defense cooperation, especially the defense sector, as a key ingredient for our future collaboration. Here's the deal, buddy: Erdoğan wants to jam-pack our calendars with defense cooperation agreements before the ink on the paper's dry.
💰 On another note, Erdoğan tossed the idea of Vietnam supporting Turkey's bid to become a Dialogue Partner of ASEAN into the ring. Fancy that, hey? Turkish agencies will be all over this like hounds on a scent if Việt Nam decides to lend a helping hand.
🔥 Enter Hà, the ace up our sleeve. Hà paid her respects to Turkey's accomplishments under Erdoğan's leadership, praising their evolution into a regional and global powerhouse. Turbo-boosted trade numbers, a booming industrial sector, and increased diplomatic clout, she declared, are all testaments to Turkey's impressive growth.
🌱 Looking back, Hà recognized the positive trajectory of the friendship between our nations, a friendship that has only strengthened in recent years, following Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính's visit to Turkey in November 2023.
💰 2024 saw an impressive $3 billion in two-way trade, making Vietnam Turkey's leading trade partner in Southeast Asia. 40 Turkish enterprises have made their homes in Việt Nam, including the group constructing Long Thành International Airport in Đông Nai province, and Turkish Airlines' two daily direct flights linking our countries[2][4][5].
🛡️ Bonus: Vietnam sent a rescue team to Turkey's aid after the earthquakes in February 2023, leaving no doubt about our solidarity as nations. An even bigger feather in our cap? Turkey's desire for Vietnam's support on its application to become an ASEAN Dialogue Partner[3][4].
End of the line, mate. That's the lowdown on the latest twists and turns in our ongoing saga with Turkey. Now you've got the whole story. 🤝🇹🇷🇻🇳
