Pham Minh Chinh, Prime Minister of Vietnam, arrived in Abu Dhabi on Sunday on an official visit to the country.

He was greeted by Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade and Head of the Honorary Mission accompanying the visiting Prime Minister, His Excellency Dr. Bader Abdullah Al Matroushi, UAE Ambassador to Vietnam, and a number of officials.
