The Ambassador underscored the huge cooperation potentials between the two nations’ enterprises, particularly after the signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) last February. Leaders of the Mexican Business Council for Foreign Trade, Investment and Technology (COMCE) pledged to send a business delegation to Vietnam in May to seek specific cooperative agreements with Vietnamese partners.
