Long affirmed his commitment to advancing bilateral relations to a new level, serving as a bridge to implement agreements reached during Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s visit to the Dominican Republic in last November, a milestone in strengthening traditional friendship and boosting economic, trade and investment cooperation.

He called on the government of the Dominican Republic to create favourable conditions for Vietnamese businesses, particularly in telecommunications - a sector where Vietnam is strong in and the Dominican Republic needs.

On the occasion, Ambassador Long met with Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Francisco Caraballo, who is in charge of bilateral foreign policy, and General Secretary of the United Left Movement Party Miguel Mejia.

Both sides stressed the need to implement high-level agreements effectively and agreed to boost delegation exchanges, strengthen bilateral cooperation, and maintain mutual support in international forums./.
