The Minister of Science and Technology, Gabriela Jiménez, held a meeting this Monday with the ambassadors of the Republic of Serbia, Katarina Andric, and of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Vû Trung My, in which cooperation actions were discussed, regarding the military aggression perpetrated by the United States on January 3.
