Argentina, Vietnam foster parliamentary links

The legislative bodies of Vietnam and Argentina will increase delegation exchanges to share experience in legislation and support their governments’ efforts in strengthening bilateral cooperation.

They noted with satisfaction the fine development of friendship and cooperation between the two countries in recent times, especially the rising trade value from US$316 million in 2007 to a record high of US$1.6 billion in 2013.
 
 
They said both countries have great potential for stronger cooperation, primarily in investment.
Argentinean legislators asked Vietnam to facilitate Argentinean operations in wind and hydro power projects in the country, while establishing twin cities and increasing cooperation with Vietnamese localities.
They said the Argentina parliament will soon establish a parliamentary friendship group with Vietnam at the Senate.
The two sides spent much time examining issues relating to gender equality, women’s leadership role in society, and protection of the rights of women and children.
Vice Chairwoman Ngan also briefed her hosts on Vietnam’s foreign policy and answered their questions on the country’s development policies and the current tension in the East Sea after China’s oil rig placement in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf.
Argentinean legislators and scholars hailed Vietnam’s stance of resolving the territorial dispute in the East Sea by peaceful measures in accordance with international law.
On July 2, Ngan left Argentina for Chile for a visit till July 5.
