EU leaders in various meetings with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan last month stressed the importance of EVFTA, the second bilateral trade agreement between the EU and an ASEAN country.
On this occasion, Minh expressed his gratitude to Denmark and Bulgaria for their supports to Vietnam’s running for a non-permanent seat of the UN Security Council in the 2020 – 2021 period.
At their separate meetings, both Christensen and Petkova highly regarded Vietnam’s economic achievements and the country’s constructive foreign policy which play a huge role in enhancing Vietnam’s status and credibility in the region and the world.
