Results achieved

During the process, we detected that a more strategic approach is required for international cooperation. 聽in view of the fact that we are now considered an middle-income country, it is necessary to promote regional, trilateral and bilateral initiatives and promote cooperation in corporate social responsibility.聽our embassies must be our allies to share cultural diversity, so we must better utilize those spaces to promote our culture and undertake related projects. 聽
