10/09/2011Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto del Rosario said it is a commitment of the government to steer Philippines-Vietnam relations toward a more meaningful and deeper cooperation as he acknowledged the 11 areas of cooperation reviewed by senior officials of both countries at the 6th Philippines-Vietnam Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) held on Oct. 6-7 in Hanoi.
This year, the Philippines and Vietnam are celebrating the 35th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations.
