On June 3, Ambassador Nguyen Trung Kien, permanent representative of Vietnam to the International Atomic Energy Agency presented a credential letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi.

Ambassador Nguyen Trung Kien expressed his gratitude to the IAEA and Director General Grossi for supporting Vietnam in applying nuclear technology in many essential fields such as community health care, cancer treatment, and improvement in agricultural products.

Kien emphasized the provision of equipment, biological products, and training to improve Vietnamese experts' capacity on nuclear technology application to Covid-19 diagnosis and detection, which had effectively supported Covid-19 prevention in Vietnam.
