The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam and Belgium inform that the two sides have agreed on the Joint Statement on the outcome of the official visit to the Kingdom of Belgium from October 23-24 by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President To Lam, at the invitation of Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever.

General Secretary and President To Lam expressed his hope that from this hall at the Egmont Institute, European policymakers and scholars will come to see Vietnam as a “trusted partner” and a “strategic link” connecting the continents of Asia and Europe.

At their talks in Brussels on October 23, in terms of the economy, trade and investment, the two leaders called for breakthroughs and larger-scale strategic projects in areas where Belgium has traditional strengths and Vietnam has pressing needs, including seaport development, smart logistics chains, green energy, eco-industrial parks and climate-resilient high-tech agriculture.

During their meeting in Brussels on October 23, the two leaders agreed to keep fostering cooperation in education-training, culture and people-to-people exchanges.

The visit aims to further strengthen cooperative relations with key partners in Europe.
