During the reception, the President lauded outgoing New Zealand Ambassador Haike Manning for his dedication to further deepening bilateral comprehensive partnership.
The State leader expressed his delight at increased political ties between the two countries via the exchange of high-level visits and meetings on the sidelines of regional and global conferences and forums, as well as new progress of national defence-security ties through the establishment of the defence deputy ministerial dialogue mechanism and the maintenance of bilateral national defence dialogue. 
Based on the back of achievements reached in the past time, President Quang called on ministries, agencies, localities and businesses of both nations to strengthen collaboration in education-training, agriculture, processing and support industries, renewable energy, clean technology, climate change response, and disaster risk management. 
Vietnam welcomes New Zealand firms and is willing to provide all possible assistance for them to do business in the country, he said. 
On the occasion, the President conveyed his invitation to New Zealand PM John Key to attend the High-level Week of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum in the central city of Da Nang in November 2017. 
For his part, Ambassador Haike Manning said along with joint work in education-training, agriculture and food safety, New Zealand wishes to optimize the Auckland – Ho Chi Minh City direct air service to promote tourism and technology cooperation.
The diplomat noted that Vietnam and New Zealand need to boost cooperation within the framework of regional mechanisms, considering it an important factor for regional prosperity and stability. 
New Zealand backs initiatives regarding regional integration such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Vietnam’s efforts for APEC Year 2017, he said.
Haike Manning pledged to support Vietnam hosting APEC Year 2017 successfully.
