Mexico City, Sept. 4 (VNA)-- Foreign Minister Nguyen Dy Nien of Viet Nam ended his week-long official visit to Mexico on Sept. 3 after signing cooperation accords on culture, education and foreign affairs.

Senator Sauri said Mexico is actively implementing its external policy to boost cooperative ties in trade, economics, finance, investment, human resources and culture with Asian-Pacific nations, including Viet Nam.
FM Nien, in turn, assured his hosts of Viet Nam's policy to develop multi-faceted cooperation with Mexico, especially in economics, science and technology, culture and law.
During his stay, the Vietnamese Foreign Minister also held meetings with Mexican business circles and visited some economic and cultural establishments in the capital city.--Enditem
