Minister Luong Tam Quang receives newly accredited Mongolian Ambassador

Welcoming Ambassador Ganbaatar Hulan on assuming her ambassadorship in Viet Nam, Minister Luong Tam Quang wished her a successful tenure marked by practical achievements, contributing to the further growth of traditional friendship and cooperation between Viet Nam and Mongolia.

Regarding bilateral relations, Minister Luong Tam Quang emphasized that, since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1954, Viet Nam–Mongolia relations have continuously developed and expanded on the principles of mutual respect for independence, sovereignty, equality, and mutual benefit, underpinned by a shared desire for peace, stability and development.

In the realm of security, Minister Luong Tam Quang highly praised the fruitful cooperation between the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam and Mongolian law enforcement agencies in safeguarding national security and maintaining social order and safety in each country amid increasingly complex global developments and non-traditional security challenges.

The Minister noted that the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam has established formal ties with the Office of the National Security Council and the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs of Mongolia. 

Through mechanisms like the Ulaanbaatar Dialogue, the two sides have maintained regular exchanges of views on global and regional issues of mutual interest and coordinated closely in combating transnational crime, managing immigration, organizing cultural exchanges, and hosting annual summer camps for children of policy-beneficiary officers. 

These activities have significantly contributed to maintaining security and order, deepening people-to-people exchanges, and promoting regional and global peace and stability.

On this occasion, Minister Luong Tam Quang proposed that the two sides continue to consolidate political trust and substantive cooperation through increased high-level contacts and delegation exchanges. 

He called for mutual support for each other's positions at international forums and regional or global mechanisms and initiatives on the basis of international law and the United Nations Charter, alongside coordinated efforts to promote participation, ratification, and effective implementation of the Ha Noi Convention in line with each country's legal procedures.

Furthermore, the Minister stressed the need to enhance information sharing and exchange assessments regarding global and regional developments affecting the security and national interests of each country. 

Both sides should effectively implement signed cooperation documents, accelerate negotiations for new law enforcement agreements, coordinate responses to shared security threats, particularly drug-related crime and transnational telecommunications and Internet fraud, and ensure the protection of each other's citizens.

Minister Luong Tam Quang also proposed expanding cooperation in training law enforcement personnel and capacity-building assistance, while maintaining annual cultural exchanges and summer camps for children of policy-beneficiary personnel from the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam and Mongolian law enforcement authorities.

For her part, Ambassador Ganbaatar Hulan expressed sincere gratitude for the warm reception and good wishes extended by Minister Luong Tam Quang, expressing her delight at assuming her post while the Mongolia–Viet Nam Comprehensive Partnership continues to flourish.

The Ambassador highly valued the results of cooperation between the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam and Mongolian security and law enforcement agencies, expressing her desire for both sides to step up exchanges and align joint cooperation activities with each country's strengths and requirements.

Ambassador Ganbaatar Hulan affirmed that in her new position, she will work closely with the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam and relevant Mongolian authorities to serve as an effective bridge for security and law enforcement cooperation, helping bring the traditional friendship and Comprehensive Partnership between the two nations to a deeper and more substantive stage.
