HANOI: The post-pandemic economic recovery in various sectors including trade, investment and tourism, as well as recognition of vaccination certificates between Malaysia and Vietnam are among the focus of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob's three-day official visit to Vietnam beginning Sunday (March 20).

Foreign Ministry deputy secretary-general Datuk Amran Mohamed Zin said the Vietnamese authorities informed that the country had recognised Malaysia's vaccination certificate and that Malaysia welcomed the decision, as it was one of the aspects of cooperation that Malaysia wanted to have within Asean and also with Asean strategic partners.

"We will also look into the procedures that need to be set between the two countries to facilitate travelling between Malaysia and Vietnam for all categories of travellers, tourists, business and even students too,” he told a press conference with the Malaysian media here on Saturday . "Of course, this matter will be discussed by the Prime Minister with his Vietnamese counterpart and we will set the final target during the top-level discussion.

He said the value of Malaysia's investment in Vietnam in 2021 was US$12.81bil , making Malaysia the eighth largest investor in the country, while the value of Vietnam's investment in Malaysia was still at a level that needed to be improved. It said during the visit, the two leaders would hold a meeting to assess the development of the implementation of the Malaysia-Vietnam Strategic Partnership Action Plan 2021-2025.

The Prime Minister is also scheduled to hold separate meetings with the Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the President of Vietnam, and the Chairman of the Vietnamese House of Representatives.
