Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Carmen Moreno Toscano stressed 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).
The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue coordinating closely with its Vietnamese counterpart to concretise orientations and measures to deepen the bilateral ties and bring substantive benefits to the two countries’ peoples.
