The two sides, therefore, need to make more efforts to boost the ties, he said, expressing his hope that the visit will expand the relationship between the two countries.
Up to 70,000 Vietnamese are living in Czech, serving as a bridge to foster friendship and cooperation between the two nations , he added.
For his part, Lubomir Zaoralek said the Czech Republic advocated to expand investments in Asia, in which, Vietnam is one of the most important destinations.
Hailing HCM City for its dynamic economic development, Zaoralek pledged to hasten the establishment of a twin relationship between the City and the Czech capital of Prague.
He added that a number of business delegations will visit Vietnam in the near future to study investment and cooperation opportunities.
