The Czech official, Ales Uchytil, is in Vietnam to prepare for the first performance of Czech businesses at the fourth Vietnam International Precision Engineering, Machine Tools and Metalworking Exhibition and Conference (MTA) to be held from July 9-12.

Mr Uchytil said the two countries’ trade has increased over the recent years but has not yet matched with their real potential, adding that the MTA Vietnam 2008 would provide both countries’ businesses with opportunities to promote bilateral ties.
