The PM spoke highly of the ties between Vietnam and the EU, in particular the ties with Germany and Belgium.

The Vietnamese government always creates the most favourable conditions for domestic and foreign firms to conduct business in the country, he assured the guests.

The host expressed his wish that the ambassador would serve as a bridge linking the two countries’ businesses together in order to learn about business environment and opportunities in Vietnam and Europe.

Roccas also hoped that partnership between Hamon and Vinh Tan 1 thermal power plant would go smoothly.
