Ambassador Duong, who came to present his credentials, conveyed President Tran Dai Quang’s greetings and invitation to visit Vietnam to his host.
He added that Morales’ trip to Vietnam is expected to enhance multi-faceted cooperation between the two countries.
The Guatemalan President expressed his thanks and tasked Minister of Foreign Affairs Sandra Erica Jovel, who also attended the meeting, with arranging his visit to Vietnam.
Morales said he believes in developing Vietnam – Guatemala relations, particularly in trade and investment.
Earlier, on September 3, the Vietnamese diplomat handed over a copy of his credentials to Guatemalan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alicia Virginia Castillo.
On the occasion, both sides frankly discussed measures to boost bilateral cooperation in economy-trade and cultural exchange.
They agreed that the establishment of a political consultation mechanism between Vietnamese and Guatemalan foreign ministries as well as the mutual support of the two countries at international organisations and multilateral forums, particularly in Asia-Pacific, are also necessary.
They considered these practical activities to mark 25 years of Vietnam – Guatemala relations (1993 - 2018).-VNA
