PT General Secretary Guitiérrez, who is also a member of the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico, said the PT wishes to promote cooperation programmes between the two Parties as well as with Hai Phong, especially in fields that have seen fruitful partnerships, including acupuncture, communications, and personnel training.
These partnerships have helped promote Vietnam’s image in Mexico and Latin America, and assisted the PT in promoting its reputation in its country and the region, he noted, suggesting cooperation be expanded to new areas that match both sides’ strengths and potential.
Expressing his hope for increased cooperation between the two countries, including between Mexico and Hai Phong, Secretary Quang said his city always welcomes and will provide the best possible conditions for Mexican enterprises and investors to operate.
Hai Phong currently does not have any FDI projects from Mexican investors.
