At the meeting, Minister Son hailed the two agencies’ collaboration in professional experience sharing and personnel training, and asked the two agencies to expand the exchange of information of mutual interests.
He expressed his hope that VNA and NOTIMEX will propose more initiatives to promote the other nation in their own country, contributing to boosting bilateral relations.
For his part, the NOTIMEX Director General said that his agency wants to increase the dissemination of information on Vietnam’s land and people to Mexican people to nurture the ties between the two nations.
On the same day, the NOTIMEX leader had a working session with VNA General Director Nguyen Duc Loi, who thanked NOTIMEX for creating favourable conditions for professional activities of VNA’s correspondents in Mexico.
The VNA General Director noted that there is great interest about Latin America in Vietnam and the VNA has opened three bureaus in the region.
VNA and NOTIMEX established cooperation relations in 1997 after VNA opened its bureau in Mexico City.
According to a cooperation agreement signed in July this year, the two news agencies provide each other with news, press photos and video clips.-VNA
