Vietnam – Netherlands: Vast Potential for Cooperation
After 50 years of establishing diplomatic relations (1973-2023), 5 years of establishing a Comprehensive Partnership (2019-2024), and 10 years of establishing a Strategic Partnership on sustainable agriculture and food security (2014-2024), the relationship between Vietnam and the Netherlands is considered a model of “dynamic and effective relations” between the two regions of Asia and Europe.
During this visit, numerous meetings were held between Dutch ministers and their Vietnamese counterparts to discuss business opportunities in Vietnam and promote bilateral trade development. Additionally, the agenda included a series of business seminars, panel discussions, networking activities, and two significant signing ceremonies in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
