The meeting was an opportunity to praise the quality of the friendship bonds linking the Kingdom of Morocco and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and to recall the significant milestones that contributed to strengthening said bonds. 

In this respect, Rep. Mohamed Sabbari noted that both countries share a history of struggle for independence, noting that the "Moroccan Gate" located in Northern Hanoi testifies to that.

For their part, the Vietnamese parliamentary delegation showed pride at this meeting and expressed their readiness to work together to support the questions of mutual parliamentary concern. In this regard, the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee for Culture and Education, MP Ta Van Ha, gave an overview of the main historical and diplomatic highlights of the distinguished ties between Vietnam and the Kingdom of Morocco, which started in 1961 and were reinforced through dialogue, consultation, and cooperation, thus requiring the advancement of said relations to higher levels given that the Kingdom is a gate to Africa. 

The two parties also called for reinforcing bilateral cooperation to advance bilateral and multilateral parliamentary relations and coordinate within the various regional and international parliamentary fora. 

The meeting featured the presence of the Ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the Kingdom of Morocco, H.E. Le Kim Quy.
