The two sides agreed to coordinate in building programmes to promote exchange of culture, tourism, science - technology, and education, people-to-people exchange, and experience sharing, thus creating a foundation for stronger cooperation between the Vietnamese and Argentine localities.
They hoped that a Letter of Intent on enhancing bilateral cooperation between Binh Duong and Santa Fe will be signed soon.
During their stay, the delegation had meetings with representatives of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) – ASEAN Chamber of Commerce, and Vietnamese Ambassador to Argentine Duong Quoc Thanh./.
