potential, advantages, and traditional cooperation, relations between Vietnam,
including Hoa Binh, and Israel will develop more strongly.

two countries’ friendship, adding that despite geographical distance, they
share many cultural and historical similarities. In particular, they boast
solidarity, creativity, and determination to overcome difficulties, which are important
factors for enhancing the bilateral solidarity and friendship.

technology, seedling production, animal breeding, and fertiliser manufacturing,
and that it is ready to cooperate with the province in smart technologies so as
to tap into potential and bring about development opportunities.
