He said Greece is willing to serve as a bridge for Vietnamese enterprises, especially those from Ho Chi Minh City, to make inroads into the European market.

The diplomat suggested the two sides enhance cooperation in cultural exchanges, art and music to strengthen their mutual understanding and solidarity, as well as collaboration in politics, external affairs, and economics.

Phong said the trade and investment relations between Greece and Ho Chi Minh City are still modest and below the bilateral cooperation potential.

Therefore, the city hopes Greece will step up cooperative activities in the fields of its strength such as seaport, tourism, culture and art, he recommended.

He asserted that the southern metropolis will create the optimal conditions for foreign companies, including Greek ones, to make long-term business in the city.
