Hailing the visit to Viet Nam by Neven Mimica and the outcomes of his meetings with the Vietnamese agencies, PM Dung thanked the EU for continuing the provision of official development assistance (ODA) for Viet Nam.

The potentials in the relationship between Viet Nam and the EU is huge, especially after the two sides officially ink and launch the EU-Viet Nam Free Trade Agreement, said the PM.

Viet Nam attaches importance to the relations with the EU and hopes to further cooperate with the EU in all areas.

Mr. Neven Mimica said the early ratification of the Agreement on Comprehensive Partnership and Cooperation and the signing of the Viet Nam-EU Free Trade Agreement will create a basis for the two sides to push their relationship forward.

The Commissioner highlighted the cooperation with Vietnam over the past time, saying he believes that the bilateral ties will develop intensively and extensively across economics, trade, investment, development cooperation, politics, the environment and climate change.
