In the meeting, Nguyen Phuong Nga said VUFO wanted to coordinate with the Embassy to implement activities to cultivate friendship and effective cooperation between the people of Vietnam and El Salvador.

According to Ambassador Nguyen Phuong Nga, though Vietnam and El Salvador are geographically far apart, the two countries have a fruitful friendship. The people of Vietnam appreciate El Salvador's support for Vietnam's past struggle for national independence, freedom, and reunification and nowadays national construction and development.

VUFO looks to coordinate with the Embassy of El Salvador to implement activities to boost friendship between the two peoples. VUFO and the Vietnam Committee for Solidarity with the People of El Salvador will be the focal point to welcome El Salvadoran delegations and people's organizations to work with Vietnamese partners.

The VUFO President hoped that Ambassador Burgo would introduce partner organizations for the Vietnam Committee for Solidarity with the People of El Salvador to further promote people-to-people exchanges between the two sides.

For his part, Ambassador Ruben Omar Orozco Burgo said the inauguration of the Embassy of El Salvador in Hanoi (February 15, 2023) marked an important milestone in Vietnam-El Salvador relations. He believes that the relationship with Vietnam is the foundation for El Salvador to strengthen exchanges with Southeast Asia, and support Vietnam to expand its market in Central America.

The diplomat said that El Salvador hoped to consult experiences and cooperate in economic development with Vietnam. Vietnam and El Salvador both have strengths in coffee exports, opening up room for the two to cooperate for mutual development.
