He wished that the guest would facilitate the exchange of all-level delegations and step up the implementation of existing bilateral cooperation mechanisms. He also suggested reinforcing collaboration across education-training, tourism, culture, and people-to-people exchange, thereby expanding cooperation into other areas.
Additionally, he also hoped for greater interaction between Vietnamese and Polish citizens, encouraging more visits, study trips, and experience sharing between the two countries.
Surdej, for his part, expressed a desire for stronger coordination in economy, public policy, labor, and science and geology, alongside culture and art, especially in music.
Impressed by the participation of many talented young Vietnamese pianists in competitions in Poland, he hailed the Vietnamese community in Poland for contributing to development in the host country.

President Vo Van Thuong hosts Spanish Ambassador Carmen Cano De Lasala. |
During a reception for Spanish Ambassador Carmen Cano De Lasala, Thuong proposed that both countries nurture political trust, diplomatic ties and promote high-level visits and exchanges.
In his view, leveraging cooperation mechanisms such as the E.U.-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the E.U.-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA) will further increase two-way trade in the future. Many Vietnamese agencies and businesses have already embarked on studying technology, infrastructure and transportation - areas in which Spain excels.
The President also suggested further pushing forward ties across education, sci-tech, culture, sport and people-to-people exchange.
The Spanish Ambassador said the two countries are now in a very favorable stage to boost bilateral ties, especially in 2024 when they celebrate the 15th anniversary of strategic partnership toward the future.
Spain wishes to cultivate cultural and people-to-people exchanges, welcome more Vietnamese to visit, study and work in the country, she said.
