The bilateral negotiations resulted in the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation between Vietnamese company NEAD and Slovak companies JAVYS, VUJE and EKOMET-EU. The platform for the cooperation of partner organizations from both countries is opened in several areas. The representatives of both parties however, agreed that a key priority area remains the energy sector.
