Addressing the event, Malta’s Honourary Consul General Huynh Trung Khanh said that Malta was one of the first countries in Europe which set up diplomatic ties with Vietnam in 1974 and their relationship has been continuously fostered and developed since then.
Vietnam and Malta hold great prospects for bilateral cooperation, especially in economy, trade, investment, finance and tourism, he said.
