Vietnam is making the final preparations before opening its embassy in Baghdad as the country wishes to boost bilateral ties with Iraq, especially in economics and trade, said President Nguyen Minh Triet.

The Vietnamese President stated this when receiving the new Iraqi Ambassador to Vietnam, Faris A. Zarawi Al Ani, in Hanoi on June 18.
