They compared notes on issues of shared concern, and  briefed each other on COVID-19 and socio-economic situation in their respective nation.

A range of measures were also debated in a hope of deepening the bilateral comprehensive partnership, which was established in 2010 based on a sustainable basis.

The pair consented to go ahead with closer cooperation to maintain the growth momentum of the relationship, intensify delegation exchanges at the high level when possible, realize cooperation mechanisms, and encourage collaboration between ministries, agencies and localities in different forms.

The Vietnamese diplomat showed his elation at the strong development of bilateral economic and trade ties, saying Argentina has become Vietnam’s second biggest trade partner in Latin America with last year’s two-way trade reaching US$3.9 billion.

He thanked Argentina for its technical cooperation, especially a project that is designed to improve Vietnam’s forensic anthropology capacity to identify martyrs’ remains in Vietnam.

In response, Tettamanti affirmed that Vietnam is one of Argentina’s biggest trade partners and a key partner in the South-South cooperation, with a total of 15 projects covering plenty of fields.

Both sides agreed to step up cooperation in the areas of mutual concern, speed up negotiations, towards signing a number of agreements to complete the legal framework for the bilateral cooperation in trade, justice, investment, telecommunications, and national defence-security.

They also exchanged views on regional and international issues of shared concern, and pledged to offer their mutual support in international organisations and multilateral forums of which both Vietnam and Argentina are members such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation.
