Hanoi (VNA) – The Dominican Republic (DR) and Vietnam have great
potential to continue developing their relations to a higher level, in the
fields of diplomacy, trade, science, agriculture, education, telecommunications,
tourism, sports and culture, said DR Ambassador to Vietnam Jaime
Francisco Rodríguez on November 1.
He made the statement at a ceremony to
offer flowers at the statue of the Caribbean country’s President Juan Emilio Bosch in Hanoi’s
Hoa Binh Park, on the occasion of the leader’s 114th birth
anniversary (June 30, 1909-2023), and his 22nd death anniversary
(November 1, 2001-2023).
Recalling the close relationship between Juan
Bosch and Vietnam’s late President Ho Chi Minh, the ambassador said that the
Dominican Republic always upholds the spirit of international solidarity of
President Juan Bosch, as well as his sentiments when visiting the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam during the “Cold War” period, marking the country’s
wholehearted devotion to the struggle of the Vietnamese people.
The opening of its embassy in Vietnam in
February 2023 is a testament to the achievements gained in the new foreign
policy of President Luis Abinader Corona and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
the Dominican Republic, and demonstrates its desire in promoting and enhancing
cooperation with Vietnam in the fields of diplomacy, trade, academia, culture,
sports, science and technology.
The Dominican Republic and Vietnam set up their diplomatic ties on July 7,
2005./.
