ECONOMYNEXT – Vietnam ambassador to Sri Lanka Thi Thanh Truc paid a farewell call on prime minister Dinesh Gunawardena at Temple Trees in Colombo on Thursday.
The prime minister thanked her for the contribution made to strengthen bilateral relations during her tenure and wished her well in her future endeavours.
Sri Lanka and Vietnam have the potential for closer engagement, Truc has said earlier.
Co-operation between the two countries have grown steadily over the years in bilateral trade, investment, high level visits and expanding people to people contact.
Earlier this year Sri Lanka and Vietnam signed an agreement to develop the agricultural sector in the island which will include the exchange of agricultural technology, studies and research, expertise, production of advanced seeds, application of fertilizers and pesticides, and training of farmers and officials to increase harvests.
