Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, received Luong Quong, President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, at the General Secretariat headquarters on Monday. He was accompanied by a high-level delegation, including the Chairman of the Internal Political Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, as well as the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Education. The meeting was held as part of the Vietnamese President's visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt.

According to a statement issued by the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, Jamal Rushdi, the Secretary-General's official spokesperson, stated that Aboul Gheit welcomed the President to the Arab League headquarters, stressing the importance of strengthening relations between the Arab League and its member states and Vietnam, within the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two sides in 2023, and the aspiration to activate cooperation in the fields of trade, industry, technology, innovation, and culture.

The spokesperson stated that during the meeting, the Secretary-General praised Vietnam's consistent support for the Palestinian cause—the central issue of the League of Arab States—which supports the principle of a two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, as well as Palestine's right to self-determination.
