At the working session with the Honorary Consul of Vietnam to Jalisco and the Business Association of Jalisco state, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Nguyen Ho Hai strongly affirmed that Ho Chi Minh City always treasures the development of the friendly and cooperative relations with Latin American countries and with Mexico in the fields of investment, trade, tourism and culture. However, the cooperation relationship between Ho Chi Minh City and Mexico in the passing time still remains modest, not commensurate with the potential and desires of both countries.
Ho Chi Minh City and Mexico are likely to still have a lot of potential for cooperation, especially cooperation opportunities from the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) that Vietnam and Mexico are its members.
