He expressed his hope that the practice of Son Lon Quyen Thuat as well as other forms of Vietnamese traditional martial arts will grow strong in the African country.
On the occasion, Ambassador Tru had a meeting with Minister of Youth and Sports El Hadi Ould Ali, seeking ways to enhance the exchanges of sport and cultural activities between the two nations.
