Child adoptions from Vietnam could be facilitated following a meeting between Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and his Vietnamese counterpart Xuan Phuc.

The meeting was held during the summit between European and Asian countries, known as ASEM, currently being held in Mongolia. 

The number of adoptions has dwindled due to the fact that children up for inter-country adoption are on the decline.

The two prime ministers also discussed means to increase commerce between Vietnam and Malta. At the end of the meeting, Foreign Affairs Minister George Vella signed a double taxation agreement.
