The two leaders expressed their determination to further strengthen Viet Nam–France relations, positioning each country as a bridge for the other in Asia and Europe.

The EU should strengthen its ties with Southeast Asia — a populous, youthful, and dynamically growing region with great development potential, PM Pham Minh Chinh stressed, affirming that Viet Nam stands ready to serve as a bridge to help the EU deepen its relationship with the region.

Following French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Viet Nam in May, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will lead a high-ranking delegation to attend the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC 3) and undertake bilateral engagements in France. The working trip aims to bolster strategic cooperation between the two nations across multiple sectors, including education, science and technology, sustainable development, and ocean conservation.
