He also praised the diplomat's efforts in conneting the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade and the UAE Chamber of Commerce and Industry to hold business forums between the two countries, particularly the Dubai – Vietnam trade forum in Hanoi in November last year.

In reply, Khalid Ibrahim Abdulaziz Shohail Al-Qahtani thanked Vietnam’s agencies and sectors for their cooperation and support during his term of office in the country.
He told his host that he appreciates his nation's fruitful cooperation with Vietnam, adding that after returning home, he will continue serving as a bridge bringing relations between the two countries to a higher level.
