It is part of a series of cultural exchange and trade promotion activities between Viet Nam and Peru from April 8-24 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties (November 14, 1994-2014).
Speaking at the event, which saw the participation of Vietnamese Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Phuong Nga and Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh, Peruvian Charge d’Affaires Luis Tsuboyama said that Peru’s recent opening of an embassy in Viet Nam once again affirms its Government’s wish to further strengthen the two countries’ bilateral cooperation.
Peru considers Viet Nam as a bridge to expand its relations with others in Southeast Asia, he said.
He expressed his hope to introduce to Vietnamese people Peru’s culture through its typical cuisine and dances.
In 2013, two-way trade between Viet Nam and Peru reached 154.3 million USD, of which 110.5 million USD came from Vietnam’s exports to the South American nation.
The Viet Nam Oil and Gas Group and the Military-run Telecom Group Viettel are conducting investment projects in Peru.
