Deputy PM Nguyễn Sinh Hùng entrusted the MCI and the MOFA to cooperate with Algeria in exchanging publications in English, French or Arabic languages, not for business purposes, at the initiative of Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to increase mutual understanding between the two peoples. The MoF was assigned to allocate annual budget to the MCI to finance the exchange activities.

The Deputy PM ordered the MCI to be responsible for the themes and lists of publications for annual exchange in line with Vietnam’s foreign policy, for the sake of promoting Vietnamese cultural tradition and Algeria's proper use of the publications.
