The meeting aimed at opening new markets for crops that each country produces best. President Orsi shot back with enthusiasm about developing deeper connections with Vietnam and mentioned that his country will lead a significant Latin American group next year. Both leaders agreed to fast-track the Vietnam-MERCOSUR trade pact during the second half of 2025.
