At a meeting with Kosice’s Mayor Jaroslav Polacek, the ambassador said with efforts by leaders and people of the two countries, plus cooperation between localities, the friendship and collaboration between Vietnam and Slovakia are expected to grow further across all fields.
He pledged to cooperate closely with local authorities to further promote partnerships between Kosice and its sister city HCM City and other localities of Vietnam.
