According to the scholar, the two countries have held numerous high-level meetings this year to remove bottlenecks and promote economic and investment cooperation. Quang’s visit will help strengthen relations between the two governments and create a chance for the two sides to discuss new projects for the future.

Venezuela has shown its desire to expand relations with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), particularly expressing interest in joining the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC), the scholar said, stressing that Vietnam plays a crucial role in realising this goal.
The political relationship between Vietnam and Venezuela is thriving, but there is still untapped potential to step up economic cooperation, he went on./.
