According to the Ambassador, the first and foremost task of the two governments is to continue to effectively implement and further deepen the Vietnam-Venezuela comprehensive partnership in all areas, focusing on prioritizing cooperation in key areas such as oil and gas, agriculture, telecommunications, tourism, etc.
