Vietnam Premier To Visit United Arab Emirates
VNBusinessNews – Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung will pay an official visit to the United Arab Emirates this month to boost commercial and trade ties, the government said Thursday.
The four-day visit, scheduled to start Feb. 16, will be the first visit to the UAE by a member of the Vietnamese government since the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1993, said foreign ministry spokesman Le Dung.
