Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc made
the suggestion at a reception in Hanoi
on December 8 for outgoing South African Ambassador to Vietnam Kgomotso Ruth
Magau, who came to say good-bye to him.
“The two countries need to
facilitate the investment promotion of their businesses, especially in agriculture,
one of Vietnam’s
strengths,” he said.
Lauding the successful tenure of
Kgomotso Ruth Magau as South African Ambassador to Vietnam, the Government leader
expressed his wish that she will continue to support the enhancement of
Vietnam-South Africa multifaceted cooperation in her new position.
For her part, the ambassador said Vietnam
holds an important role in South African’s foreign policy.
The South African Government and
people always remember the support and assistance Vietnam has given to their past
struggle for independence as well as current national development, she said.
Haling the progressing bilateral
relations, she said that the South African Government will continue fostering
cooperation with Vietnam,
particularly in agriculture, tourism and people-to-people exchange.
