Head of Vietnamese Parliament to make historic visit to Kazakhstan
The visit of the Chairwoman of the Vietnamese Parliament to Kazakhstan will be held for the first time in the history of the bilateral relations and coincides with the 25th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relations between the countries. Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan is the fourth person in the SRV state hierarchy and the first woman to take on the leadership of the country's parliament.
Prior to the trip to Kazakhstan, Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan held a meeting with the Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Vietnam, Beketzhan Zhumakhanov.
The Chairwoman of the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam highly praised the achievements in developing the political, trade and economic, cultural and humanitarian, tourist and other areas of cooperation between Vietnam and Kazakhstan.
