During a reception on October 3 for visiting permanent Vice Secretary of the Da Nang municipal Party Committee Vo Cong Tri, the Toluca Mayor expressed his delight at receiving the first Da Nang delegation to Mexico, and Toluca in particular.  He added that his city has already established the bilateral sister-city relationship with Da Nang, and this is the first such relationship which has been formed between Viet Nam and Mexico.

Vice Secretary Tri lauded Toluca as a safe destination for foreign investors.

With similarities and cooperation potential in high technology, education, tourism and sustainable development, Mr Tri expressed his determination to boost Da Nang-Toluca ties for mutual benefits.

Mr Tri also took the opportunity to invite Toluca officials to visit the city next year to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit which will take place in Da Nang in October 2017.

Also at the reception, Vietnamese Ambassador to Mexico Le Linh Lan hoped that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s visit to Viet Nam next year would lift the bilateral ties to new heights.

She wished that the Toluca officials will visit Da Nang in the near future to discuss strengthening bilateral ties within the framework of the APEC forum and the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, to which both Viet Nam and Mexico are members.
