Deputy Foreign Minister Andrea Corea expressed delight at the traditional friendship between Venezuela and Viet Nam, which has continuously been consolidated and strongly developed across many fields in recent times. The Comprehensive Partnership between the two countries continues to make positive progress based on political trust, effective cooperation and shared core values regarding the path of development for peace, stability and prosperity in the region.
