The MINAG delegation arrived in Vietnam on May 11th and began its program of activities in Ho Chi Minh City, where it participated in a forum for the promotion of trade and investment that was attended by representatives of more than a hundred companies.
“Promoting cooperation in these areas, in keeping with the existing political and diplomatic ties between the two countries, is a key task set forth by their leaders and the objective of the two countries,” Duong Anh Duc, Vice President of the municipal People’s Committee, stressed at the meeting.
Anh Duc considered holding the event as a great opportunity for Vietnamese companies to find investment opportunities in Cuba, which is “a potential and reliable partner.”
In turn, the Cuban Vice Minister urged expanding collaboration, especially in areas where Vietnam has proven strength, such as rice and coffee cultivation, but also, establishing coordination to diversify the supply of machinery for agricultural production.
