Argentine officials said the open foreign policy to befriend with all countries in the world has helped Vietnam not only achieve breakthrough development in economy and social welfare, but also increase her role and position in the international arena.

Minh stressed that Vietnam always looks to further foster comprehensive
relations with Argentina in the time to come, towards boosting cooperation across fields.
During meetings, the two sides shared experience in issues related to culture, education and youth so that they can best perform their role in monitoring the implementation of laws, resolutions of the National Assembly, as well as policies in these fields.
The Vietnamese delegation also discussed with Argentine partners orientations and measures to enhance cooperation in the coming time.
