He stressed that Brazil, the largest economy in South America, is the leading trade partner of Vietnam in the region.
Recalling the time when Vietnamese young man Nguyen Tat Thanh (then President Ho Chi Minh) set his foot in Rio de Janeiro in 1912 in his journey to seek ways for national salvation, Nghi said that during his six-month stay in the city, he studied the life of the Brazilian workers.
The authority of Rio de Janeiro state has been interested in President Ho Chi Minh’s journey there, and will join hands with the Vietnamese side to arrange events to commemorate the revolutionary leader, he stressed.
On the occasion, Nghi sent his condolences to the Brazilian state over the losses in both human lives and assets caused by massive floods.
Meanwhile, President of the Brazil-Vietnam Friendship Association and Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Ignacio Arruda described 2024 as an important milestone for the two countries to organise activities to mark their diplomatic ties, implement signed agreements and commitments, and bolster coordination at multilateral forums in a more practical and effective fashion.
Arruda underlined that Brazil will promote the implementation of a commemorative project that marks President Ho Chi Minh’s journey in the Brazilian city, adding a group of experts will come to Vietnam to roll out a cooperative project with the Ministry of Science and Technology in this second quarter.
A photo exhibition on the bilateral relations, the Dien Bien Phu Victory as well as the Vietnamese people, land and culture was organised on the occasion.
