Speaking at the event Kgomotso Ruth Magau, South African Ambassador to Vietnam, highlighted positive developments in the relationship between both countries, with cooperation in various fields including agriculture, national defence, trade and investment, education and science.
Assistant to the Foreign Minister Duong Chi Dung said the Government and the people of Vietnam attached significance to the “Partnership for cooperation and development” with South Africa.
South Africa has long been Vietnam’s biggest trade partner in Africa, with bilateral trade reaching US$1.2 billion in 2015, or 23 percent of Vietnam’s total export value to the continent, Dung said.
He also expressed his belief that with efforts made by the two nations, Vietnam- South Africa cooperative ties will reap more rewards.
