State President Nguyen Minh Triet on October 25 received the leaders of two Spanish economic groups in Hanoi , DEFEX and ACCIONA.
President Triet praised the two groups’ involvement in mining and building the Ke Ga deep-water harbour in the southern province of Binh Thuan in cooperation with the Vietnam Coal and Minerals Group (VinaCoal) and a digital television service with the An Vien Joint Stock Company.
He stressed that Vietnam during its socio-economic development process needs assistance from the international community, including economic groups.
He said that he hoped DEFEX and ACCIONA would expand their investment in Vietnam and spread the word about Vietnam ’s potential to other Spanish businesses.
The President expressed his satisfaction at the development of Vietnamese-Spanish relations, which can be seen in the common views held by both countries in the world arena, as well as their wish to expand cooperation.
He suggested that both countries lift cooperation in economics, trade, investment, science and technology and culture to match their “strategic partnership”.
President Triet also praised the contributions made by Spanish Ambassador Fernando Curcio Ruigomez in bringing Vietnam and Spain closer together.
The Ambassador said that President Triet’s visit to Spain in late 2009 had strengthened ties between both countries and one of the outcomes was the new DEFEX and An Vien digital television service./.
