During a meeting in Mexico City on February 24, Ambassador Le Linh Lan and Mexican Minister of Economy Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal hailed Vietnam and Mexico as active members of the world’s largest free trade pact. The Vietnamese diplomat informed the host about preparations for the APEC Summit in Vietnam in 2017, describing this as a golden opportunity for Vietnam to popularise itself as a renewed, dynamic and fast-developing country with great potential. She said Vietnam is willing to create the best conditions for Mexican businesses to operate in the Southeast Asian country.
