At a meeting with Mayor of the Czech city Dagmar Skodova Parmova, the diplomat proposed that the official pay attention to facilitating the life and integration of the Vietnamese community living in the South Bohemia region.

Dung recommended Ceske Budejovice consider establishing twinning relations with two south central coastal localities of Vietnam, namely Khanh Hoa and Binh Thuan.

The exchange, signing, and effective implementation of cooperation agreements between Vietnamese and Czech localities will promote their economic cooperation, trade, investment, tourism and people-to-people exchanges, contributing to the prosperous development of each nation, he affirmed.

Taking into account Dung's suggestions, the Czech city mayor invited him to attend a local cultural festival slated for June./.
