He also pointed out common targets of Vietnam and the EU in international integration; energy self-control; security-defence and diplomacy, affirming that EU always supports Vietnam to reach the country’s objectives.
The two sides should outline cooperation plan to implement the the EU-Vietnam Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Partnership and Cooperation (PCA), and look towards the official signing of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, he said.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the German Reconstruction Bank are financing a number of metro projects in HCM City, he said, pledging that the EU will work with the EIB to support the city in the projects.
