The Guatemalan President expressed his thanks and tasked Minister of Foreign Affairs Sandra Erica Jovel, who also attended the meeting, with arranging his visit to Vietnam.
Morales said he believes in developing the Vietnam – Guatemala relations, particularly in trade and investment.
Earlier, on September 3, the Vietnamese diplomat handed over a copy of his credentials to Guatemalan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alicia Virginia Castillo.
On the occasion, both sides frankly discussed measures to boost their bilateral cooperation in economics-trade and cultural exchanges.
They agreed that the establishment of a political consultation mechanism between the Vietnamese and Guatemalan foreign ministries, as well as the mutual support of the two countries at international organisations and multilateral forums, particularly in Asia-Pacific, are also necessary.
They considered these practical activities to mark 25 years of Vietnam – Guatemala relations (1993 - 2018)./.
