Bratislava, December 16 (TASR) - President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Nguyen Minh Triet began a three-day visit in Slovakia on Wednesday evening.
A series of intergovernmental co-operation agreements is expected to be signed between Slovakia and Vietnam during Triet's official visit.
Vietnam delegates include public officials as well as entrepreneurs who will meet with their Slovak counterparts at an economic forum planned to take place at Borik Hotel in Bratislava.
On Thursday, the Vietnamese head-of-state will meet for talks with Slovakia's most senior officials President Ivan Gasparovic, Chairman of Parliament Pavol Paska and at a working luncheon with Prime Minister Robert Fico.
"In the Asian region Vietnam represents a significant economic partner for Slovakia. Among the positives from the former period are the many Vietnamese citizens who in the era of Czechoslovakia acquired education or qualifications and who now hold senior posts in the government and business sector (in Vietnam)," according to a press release by Gasparovic's Office.
The documents to be signed include an agreement on support and mutual protection of investments, a memorandum of understanding between the foreign affairs ministries, an agreement on co-operation between Vietnam's state audit office and the Supreme Audit Office (NKU) of Slovakia.
