The PM suggested that the two sides should promptly conduct the joint programs of action and accelerate the realization of bilateral agreements to develop a strategic relation corresponding to the potential of both sides.

It is Vietnam's responsibility to observe her commitments with EU and further deepen this bilateral relationship, affirmed PM Nguyễn Tấn Dũng.
