Dr. Degen Z. Denek, Trade Representative of the Czech Republic in Viet Nam appreciated the traditional friendship between the two countries which is constantly developing in many aspects. However, the bilateral trade relationship is still relatively modest compared to the potential, so he is looking forward in the coming time economic cooperation will be enhanced by the potential strengths of the two sides.
