Minister Dimitrov Held a Meeting with Vietnamese Ambassador Do Hoang Long

The caretaker Minister Dr. Ilin Dimitrov held a meeting with H. E. Do Hoang Long, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Vietnam to Bulgaria.

The two parties agreed to intensify work on signing a document on cooperation in tourism between the relevant institutions in the sector in the spring of 2023. The tourism cooperation plan between the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam and the Ministry of Tourism of Bulgaria is in the process of being finalised and will be signed once the text is agreed between the two parties.

Minister Dimitrov expressed his readiness to visit Vietnam to talk with the tourism authorities about the human resources of the sector, given the large number of Vietnamese citizens who have lived, studied and worked in Bulgaria.

There are good prospects in terms of deepening cooperation in the field of tourism, such as expanding tourism exchanges between the two countries, holding events aimed at mutual promotion of the tourism product and exchanging experience in the field of training professional staff for the tourism industry. It is also planned to hold a webinar for businesses from both countries to exchange best practices.
