Embassy delegation visits Argentinean locality

(VOV) - Representatives from the Vietnamese embassy in Argentina led by ambassador Nguyen Dinh Thao paid a working visit to Argentina’s Tucuman province from April 11-12.

During the trip, they met with provincial and economic leaders from the Tucuman Economic Federation (FET) and attended a business forum organised by the FET.

In a meeting with ambassador Thao, Tucuman Governor José Alperovich confirmed his province’s desire to develop cooperation with Vietnam in the field of trade, politics and culture.

He highlighted the Vietnamese delegation’s visit as a good opportunity to promote multifaceted cooperation between the two countries and in particular Tucuman. He also expressed his wish to visit Vietnam soon.

At the forum, leaders from chambers of commerce and businesses involved in the foreign trade sector, electronics, apparel, tourism, fruit, wine and minerals from Tucuman were briefed on Vietnam's economic overview.

They were also introduced to opportunities for trade and investment cooperation between Tucuman province and Vietnam.

Participants showed their interest in establishing a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with Vietnamese partners.

Tucuman Cultural Center launched a Vietnam cultural week in Tucuman featuring a photo exhibition, a display of ethnic costumes and a Vietnamese movie.

This was the first cultural activity of its kind that the Vietnamese embassy in Argentina held in Tucumán province that captured the attention of the local community.

Located in northwestern Argentina, Tucumán accounts for 80% of the country's lemon production, making Argentina one of the world’s largest lemon producing and exporting nations.

During the visit, the delegation also toured SA San Miguel- a big group in fruit production, processing and exports. This group is now the largest lemon exporter in the southern hemisphere that is also a joint venture in lemon production and processing in Uruguay and South Africa.
