At the ceremony,
Chairman of the Vietnam-Romania Friendship Association Tong Van Nga praised
Romania’s growth to become a modern country that actively integrates in
European and global structures for peace and stability in the world.
He said despite the fact that Vietnam and Romania have
witnessed the bilateral ties expanding across fields, their economic-trade
cooperation still falls short of potential, with bilateral trade reaching just
above 200 million USD in 2017.
Nga thanked the Romanian Government’s support and assistance
towards Vietnam in its past struggle for national independence and current
cause of national development, and toward Vietnamese expatriates living in the
country.
He expected that the relations between the two countries and
their people will further develop in the coming time.
Romanian Ambassador to Vietnam Valeriu Arteni said based on
their historical similarities, the Romanian and Vietnamese people are getting
closer and joining hands in boosting the friendship and multifaceted
cooperation between the two nations.
Lauding the role of the Vietnam-Romania Friendship
Association, the diplomat said its activities have become a bridge linking the
Romanian and Vietnamese people and their nations.
