Meeting with Chilean Ambassador Jaime Chomali Garib, the Government leader urged Vietnam and Chile to promote their trade ties as they have substantial potential for collaboration in this field.  Talking about Chile’s hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in 2019, PM Phuc pledged that Vietnam will actively support the country in organising the event and asked Chile to arrange bilateral meetings on the occasion of the forum. Jaime Chomali Garib highlighted the strong development of the Vietnam-Chile relationship, especially after they have become APEC members.  The diplomat also expressed his hope that Vietnam will participate constructively in the international conference on climate change which Chile will host this year.
