Vietnam, Venezuela increase cooperation
(VOV) -Ambassador Ngo Tien Dung has led a Vietnamese Embassy delegation on a January 19–22 working visit to the Merida state of Venezuela.
The visit celebrates this year’s 25th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Venezuela (December 18). It promotes exchange, advertises Vietnam’s image, and encourages cooperation with Venezuelan localities.
The Vietnamese delegation met with Merida Governor Alexis Ramirez, who briefed his guests on the region’s potential and the advantages it enjoys in agriculture, aquaculture, construction, tourism, and traditional medicine.
On a request from Merida state leaders, Vietnamese officials made a presentation on the political and revolutionary ideology of late President Ho Chi Minh.
They also met with the rectors of Los Andes and Kleber Ramirez Universities to lay the groundwork for expanded bilateral cooperation in education and training.
Ambassador Dung affirmed Vietnam’s desire to embark upon multi-faceted cooperation with Merida as well as Venezuela in general.
On January 20, the Vietnamese Embassy organised a photographic exhibition at Merida State’s Casa Booset Cultural Centre.
The exhibition, part of Venezuela’s January 20–27 Vietnam Culture Week, introduces the beauty of Vietnam’s land, people, and history.
