| "Sri Lanka Vietnam trade up by 20% in first half " Ton Sinh Thanh said |
"Trade volume between the two countries in the first six months of the year reached 77 million US dollars, which is an increase of 20 percent," Ambassador Thanh said at an event marking the national day of Vietnam.
"This is a quite high growth given the economic difficulties in the world."
"We are also happy to see the steady expansion of relations between Sri Lanka and Vietnam on many fields," he said.
A technical assistance program for aquaculture development was also progressing in the Northern Province, where the end of a war has brought a revival.
"By travelling around the country, including the northern and eastern provinces, we could witness tremendous changes and progress in reconstruction," Ambassador Thanh said.
"Almost everywhere in Sri Lanka we could see great potential for development, especially in tourism, services, agriculture and aquaculture."
