Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner on January 18 started her 4-day visit to Vietnam expected to open cooperative opportunities between the two countries.
The visit comes at the time when the two countries are planning a series of programmes to mark the 40 th anniversary of diplomatic ties, a landmark in their bilateral ties, Vietnamese Ambassador to Argentina Nguyen Van Dao said in an interview with Vietnam News Agency.
The two sides are expected to intensify delegation exchanges and other activities to foster cooperation in economics, culture, trade and politics, said Dao, adding that bilateral relations will prosper after the visit.
