Governor-General Mason sent greetings to President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and announced Barbados’ decision to appoint a non-resident ambassador to Viet Nam soon.
She inquired about the COVID-19 battle in Viet Nam and expressed her wish to further promote multi-faceted cooperation with Viet Nam, especially in potential fields such as economy, trade, and culture, education, tourism, agriculture, marine resource management and climate change response.
For his part, Ambassador Duyen briefed the Governor-General about the COVID-19 fight in Viet Nam, and affirmed that Viet Nam attaches importance to strengthening cooperation with Barbados.
The Ambassador noted that the two sides have a lot of potential for fostering their cooperative relations for the happiness, prosperity and development of the two peoples.
In the coming time, he said the two sides can promote people-to-people exchanges, including the exchange of lecturers and students, and increase tourism cooperation to introduce the land, people and culture of both Viet Nam and Barbados.
Viet Nam and Barbados established diplomatic relations on August 25, 1995. The Viet Namese Embassy held a meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Barbados in June 2021 to discuss measures to beef up bilateral cooperation.
Barbados suggested that the two sides consider restarting negotiations on an agreement on double tax avoidance in order to facilitate economic, trade and investment cooperation.
The two sides are also considering the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation between their Chambers of Commerce, as well as the possibility of establishing the Barbados-Viet Nam Friendship Association and the Barbados-Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce in the near future.
