During a meeting with Vietnamese Ambassador to Latvia Tran Van Tuan, who came to present his letter of credentials, Rinkevics expressed satisfaction with the positive trajectory of relations between Vietnam and the European Union (EU) in general and Latvia in particular, especially in economy and trade.

President Rinkevics also noted the increasing presence of Vietnamese students excelling academically in Latvian educational institutions.

Tuan, for his part, conveyed warm regards and wishes from President Thuong and other high-ranking Vietnamese leaders to the host.

He affirmed that Vietnam always values and wishes to further develop the friendly relations and multifaceted cooperation with Latvia.

In his capacity, he pledged dedicated efforts to advance bilateral ties across all spheres.

Looking ahead, the Embassy will collaborate with Latvian authorities to arrange a business delegation's visit to Vietnam in early 2025 to explore opportunities.

The same day, the Vietnamese Ambassador paid a courtesy call to Deputy Speaker of the Latvian Parliament Janis Grasbergs, during which both sides engaged in discussions on global and regional issues of shared interest, alongside measures to fortify Vietnam-Latvia relations in the upcoming time.
