In recent years, the relationship between Vietnam and the Netherlands has developed positively in many fields, especially investment, trade, agriculture and climate change adaptation.
Despite being hit by natural disasters and climate change, Viet Nam continues to join the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), UN peacekeeping operations, ASEAN disaster management cooperation, and deploy search-and-rescue and humanitarian assistance teams to countries affected by disasters and crises, thus translating solidarity into concrete action and ensuring that humanitarian considerations remain at the centre of all response efforts.
