HCM CITY — The Consular Department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on June 19 held a ceremony to recognise Bùi Quang Minh, a famous businessman in the Vietnamese startup community, as Honorary Consul of Slovenia in HCM City.

Speaking at the ceremony, Director of the Consular Department Doãn Hoàng Minh said that he believes the newly-appointed Honorary Consul will contribute to the Việt Nam-Slovenia relations in general and their consular relations in particular. He affirmed that his ministry and competent agencies of Việt Nam will always accompany and create the best conditions for the diplomat to fulfill his tasks.

For his part, the Honorary Consul said that he will try his best to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two countries in all fields, especially in high technology, renewable energy, high-tech agriculture, and tourism.

He believed that with the close cooperation between the Slovenian Consulate, the business communities and the people of the two countries, Việt Nam and Slovenia will together build a new chapter for the the next 30 years of their diplomatic relations, towards prosperity, solidarity and sharing.

On this occasion, the Slovenian Consulate in HCM City cooperated with Beta Group and Văn Lang University to organise a photo exhibition themed "Ljubljana of Plečnik" -- UNESCO Intangible Heritage of Slovenia. The exhibition displays works of art featuring Slovenia's natural beauty, diverse culture and UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.

Việt Nam and Slovenia established their diplomatic relations on June 7, 1994. Since then, the two countries have kept nurturing their friendship and cooperation in various fields. They always coordinate closely and support each other at international forums. Slovenia is currently Việt Nam's most important economic partner in the Balkans and Việt Nam has become a major trading partner of Slovenia in ASEAN. — VNS
