In the context of Argentina’s renewed reinsertion into the world and of the strengthening of ties with the countries of Asia and the Pacific, an important delegation from the Commission for External Relations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), headed by its chairman, Quan HOANG BINH, visited our country today, 29 June.

The delegation was received at the Palacio San Martín by the Secretary for International Economic Relations, Ambassador María Cristina Boldorini, joined by a team from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The purpose of the mission was to strengthen the economic, commercial and political ties between the two nations. In this context, the parties agreed to promote productive investment and to foster bilateral cooperation projects, especially in the fields of agribusiness, science and technology and culture. In addition, they proposed to hold a meeting of the Economic and Trade Committee before the end of 2016.

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the sixth-largest destination for Argentine exports. The trade surplus is at approximately 1.5 billion dollars, which represents the highest surplus across the Asian region.

The parties also identified new opportunities to boost and diversify the exchange of high-quality Argentine products, such as wine and meat; this is in addition to the ongoing negotiations with SENASA, to authorize the entry of cherries, blueberries, pears, apples, citrus fruits and equine leather, among other goals.

Finally, with the aim of strengthening the parliamentary ties between the two countries, the Vietnamese delegation will meet with authorities of the Argentine Senate and House of Representatives, as well as with members of a number of local political parties.
