00:00 I am very happy to be here in Vietnam. I met the President, the Prime Minister, the President of the Parliament. Our relationship has been strengthened.
00:25 Vietnam has been affected by the French occupation and the US occupation.
00:42 But we know that the people are suffering. In Malaysia, many people know about the boat people, people who were forced to be exiled and fled due to economic problems and surprising changes.
01:01 But as we know, it can improve in a short time as an economic power that is surprising in a short time.
01:18 And among the developing countries, the most successful in the world. This is because the unity that was once divided into North, South and South Vietnam has become one.
01:33 And the focus of the people is unity and unity with a clear goal of building a country and defending the fate of the people. So for us, there is experience that we should learn.
01:49 And in the 90s, I think it was a lot of dependence on us. When I came in 1991 and 1993, it was a lot of dependence on us to learn when we wanted to open the Maybank bank branch and the public bank, the early banks,
02:07 to get a sense of how Malaysia was developing. But because it was united, it was based on the economy and as we know, there were actions that were firm on the rule of law and anti-corruption.
02:23 In the recent election, the president was replaced because of cases related to the misuse of power. This means that the rule of law is prioritized to clean the country from the influences that can weaken the country's foundation.
02:45 And to the current stage where we will work together in several fields, not just in investment, we are the ninth in the world and trade has also increased since the Covid era and has increased.
03:06 And the attitude of the Vietnamese government is to work together on two issues that are very high with Malaysia. It is considered that Malaysia is a special country in terms of strategic and must be improved relations.
03:28 So for that purpose, the Vietnamese president will want to accept the invitation of His Excellency the President to visit Malaysia and he also asked the President to visit Vietnam.
03:47 So we will try if there is a progress in terms of security, in terms of border agreements, there are also some problems and he agrees to have a vote so that there is no escalation and shift.
04:12 And I also mentioned about the violation of the Vietnamese fishing rights in our area. He gave a statement, promised to resolve this issue as soon as possible, perhaps with the cooperation of the Navy with Malaysia and the Vietnamese Navy.
04:32 This seems to be a progress in our work to prevent fishing that breaks into our area.
04:43 In terms of trade and investment, Halal is important, so we have a joint board of directors to discuss the issue of Halal industry and we encourage Malaysian companies to invest and develop the Halal industry, which is very important in this country.
05:06 Then in terms of education, culture, relations between the parliament, all of that is given attention.
05:13 But the important thing is to benefit the people when there is an increase in investment and good cooperation in the field of trade, import and export.
