The delegation, involving the ambassadors of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand, met the Governor of the State of Colima Indira Vizcaíno Silva.

They also attended the Asean-Colima Business Forum and visited Colima University, the Manzanillo port cluster, and some local businesses, reported Vietnam News Agency (VNA).

Mexican officials and businesses highly appreciated the possibility of strengthening cooperation in all aspects with Asean, especially in economy, trade, investment, tourism, education, and port logistics, which thereby will help Colima state in particular and Mexico in general to diversify export markets and attract more foreign investment capital.

The Ambassadors of Asean countries signed a Letter of Intent for cooperation with the state in the fields of tourism, education, culture, and trade.

Meanwhile, the Asean Committee in Buenos Aires (ACBA), Argentina, paid a working visit to Entre Rios province in the central region of Argentina from May 31 until today.

The Asean delegation consisting of the ambassadors of Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, had a working session with Entre Ríos Governor Gustavo Bordet, mayor of Paraná city Adan Bahl; and leaders of major enterprises in the province.

At the meeting, Governor Bordet emphasised that Asean countries are reliable and important trading partners of Entre Ríos.

He expressed his wish to expand and strengthen trade exchanges between the province with Asean countries, especially in areas of agriculture, renewable energy, tourism, education, and training. — Bernama-VNA
