Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Mexico Nguyen Van Hai affirmed that, stemming from sharing many similarities in the history of fighting for independence and building the country, over the past half century, the Vietnam - Mexico relationship has become increasingly strong and spread across many fields, from politics, economics, culture to people's diplomacy. In addition, despite the great geographical distance, the Vietnam - Mexico connection is also built on the foundation of deep cultural similarities, because the two countries possess a long-standing culture, rich in national identity, with depth and containing many great spiritual values.
