Hans Dannenberg Castellanos is the new Dominican ambassador in Vietnam after presenting his credentials on Wednesday, 25 October in Hanoi. During the 46-minute special meeting, Vietnamese President Triet emphasized the independent approach, open and focused on promoting world peace, stability and regional development of the world carried out by the Vietnamese government. He confirmed that he would visit the DR in the first quarter of 2007.
