While presenting his credential letter to Governor-General Patrick Allen, Ambassador Thanh confirmed Vietnam attaches importance to boosting its relations with Jamaica.
He suggested both sides implement several specific cooperative measures, including intensifying delegation exchanges and coordinating more closely at multilateral forums.
