Vietven Iluminaciones was established on the initiative of late President Hugo Chavez. The company, the first of its kind in Venezuela, started operation last year as part of the country’s energy revolution.
This will be the second Vietnam visit by a Venezuelan leader after the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1989.
During the 2006 visit to Vietnam by President Hugo Chavez, both sides signed three governmental-level agreements: a framework agreement on cooperation between the governments of Vietnam and Venezuela, a cultural cooperation agreement, and an energy cooperation agreement.
