Also in Brazil, during talks between Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Brazilian President Lula da Silva, the two leaders jointly announced upgrading the two countries' relationship to a Strategic Partnership.
"The fact that Brazil is the first South American country with which Vietnam has established a strategic partnership also marks Vietnam's progress in expanding cooperation with the Latin American region, a market with great potential, especially in the context that Vietnam is promoting the diversification of markets and supply sources," Mr. Binh affirmed.
The new framework will be the foundation for the two sides to closely coordinate on international issues such as fighting poverty, sustainable development, responding to climate change and strengthening ties between ASEAN and South America.
