The Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee also emphasized the importance of implementing the Cooperation Agreement for the period of 2018-2021 signed in June 2018 between Hanoi and Ile-de-France. The agreement focused on creating a new foundation for building bilateral relationship, with a view to becoming a model of local-level cooperation between Vietnam and France.

Echoing Hai, Valérie Pécresse agreed there is still large room for the two sides to work together, thus Hanoi and Ile-de-France will strive to tap into the potential.

She also agreed with Secretary Hai that the two localities need to effectively implement the contents of the Cooperation Agreement for 2018-2021.

In the time ahead, Ile-de-France will continue supporting Hanoi in traditional cooperation fields, especially within the framework of the program to improve Hanoi urban environmental quality funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) for the period of 2018-2021, Valérie Pécresse added.

Besides, the two localities will also give priority to economic development with Hanoi taking advantage of Ile-de-France’s experience and technologies to meet its development needs.
