It is part of a working visit to Tuyen Quang by the Venezuelan Ambassador to Vietnam and intended to help local residents learn more about the Latin American country’s culture. It also aims to open up opportunities for cooperation between Tuyen Quang and the embassy as well as Venezuelan localities, thus contributing to the countries’ relations.
