Vietnam and the DR

[NewsWhore]

Expanding co-operation with the Dominican Republic, in areas such as economy, commerce, investment, education, science and technology, is what Vietnam is seeking, stated President Nguyen Minh Triet, as reported by the Vietnam News Agency. The state leader made the affirmation while hosting Dominican Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso in Hanoi on 31 August. This is the first visit to Vietnam by a high-level Dominican delegation since the two countries established diplomatic ties in July 2005. President Triet went on to say that Vietnam and the DR should increase exchanges of visits at all levels and promote cooperation in areas that are the strengths of the two countries such as tourism, mining, engineering and transportation. For his part, Morales Troncoso said the DR is studying a plan to cooperate with Vietnamese companies in producing solar-powered batteries, buses, and information exchanges on tourism, agricultural equipment production and mining. He expressed hope that earlier talks held with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Gia Khiem would pave the way for the two countries' relationship to develop further.
During the meeting, the Vietnamese President asked Morales Troncoso to convey an invitation to President Leonel Fernandez Reyna to visit Vietnam. For more news from Vietnam, see
