Speaking at the meeting, Minister Son emphasised that Vietnam always attaches importance to and hopes to foster its time-honoured friendship and fine cooperation with Mexico.
The two ministries should speed up delegation exchanges; maintain close cooperation, coordination and support for each other at international ordinations and multilateral forums that both are members to, Minister Son said.
For her part, Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico Carmen Moreno Toscano underscored that Vietnam is one of Mexico's important political and economic partners in Asia, particularly as both countries are members of the APEC, and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
On the same day, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Do Hung Viet and the Mexican official co-chaired the seventh political consultation to share information on each country’s situation, agree on measures to strengthen the bilateral relations in the coming time, and exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual concern.
The two sides agreed to continue stepping up bilateral cooperation, especially in economics and trade; bringing into full play advantages of the CPTPP; and perfecting a legal corridor to increase the effectiveness of collaboration activities. After the session, the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding on collaboration in diplomatic training between the two ministries.
Within the framework of her visit, Carmen Moreno Toscano also paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his mausoleum, and worked with the Vietnam-Mexico Friendship Parliamentarians’ Group.
