Ambassador Fernando Curcio Ruigomez expressed his strong belief in the future development of the cooperation prospect between Việt Nam and Spain.
He said that Spain would offer Việt Nam loans worth of millions of US dollars to upgrade its infrastructure. Spain also hopes to participate in activities towards the millennium of Thăng Long-Hà Nội, added the diplomat.
The Ambassador confirmed that he would spare no effort to bolster the traditional friendship and bilateral cooperation.
PM Dũng highly valued the current status of the bilateral ties, saying that Việt Nam always lays red carpet to international investors, including those from Spain.
Việt Nam and Spain respectively take over the ASEAN Presidency and the European Union (EU) Presidency next year, so that the two countries would have more chances to intensify cooperation, particularly in the fields of economics, trade, investment culture, noted the Vietnamese PM.
The Government chief pledged to create favorable conditions for Spanish investors to speed up infrastructure projects in Hồ Chí Minh City and welcomed Spain to engage in various cultural activities on the occasion of Hà Nội’s 1000th birthday anniversary.
