HANOI (Reuters) - Indonesia's President-elect Prabowo Subianto said on Friday Vietnam and Indonesia had agreed to elevate their ties to a "comprehensive strategic partnership".
Prabowo was speaking in Hanoi during a two-day visit to Vietnam. He is expected to meet Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on Saturday.
"For us, Vietnam has always been a great friend," he said during a meeting with Vietnamese President and party chief To Lam. "We value this relationship and I am committed to enhance and further this cooperation."
"Let us now task our teams to continue our efforts to that goal," he said.
