He pledged to well carry out foreign affairs, enhance cooperation in national defence, economy and trade, while building a united representative agency, contributing to the development of the Vietnam-Chile friendship and cooperative relations.
Emphasising that the Party and State always care for and consider the overseas Vietnamese community as an inseparable part, a resource of the Vietnamese nation and an important factor contributing to strengthening cooperative and friendship relations between Vietnam and other countries, the State President requested the embassy to continue to promote its role as a bridge to promote and deepen the Vietnam-Chile relations.
He asked the embassy to continue to synchronously deploy activities of political diplomacy, economic diplomacy, cultural diplomacy and community work, with priorities being given to promoting the role of advising, accompanying and supporting the implementation of economic, trade and investment cooperation programmes and projects between the two countries.
