The Vice President expressed her delight at the development of the Vietnam-Spain friendship, especially since the two countries’ leaders defined the strategic partnership towards the future.

Mrs. Doan also thanked Spain for supporting Vietnam in its global integration, as well as improving its relationship with the European Union.

Mr. Perez said he is really impressed by the achievement of the State Audit of Vietnam which was founded 16 years ago.
