“I am confident that we can build on the successes recorded in the past while we work on boosting cooperation in business, trade and investment and social and cultural relationship between both countries. We agreed on promoting a friendly football match between our countries. The Super Eagles and the Vietnamese national team and as well the Vietnamese female national team and our Super Falcons.”
