At the opening ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh highlighted the 40-year friendship, which has been nurtured and developed despite regional and global challenges. “Vietnam is Spain’s biggest trade partner in ASEAN. It welcomed 65,000 Spanish tourists in 2016, up 29%, and twice the number that came in 2010. Such numbers are encouraging and show that Vietnam, a peaceful country with dynamic, hospitable people, deserves to be one of the top investment and tourist destinations in the Asia-Pacific region,” Mr. Minh said.
 Traditional singing and musical instrument are featured at the event.
