4th meeting of Vietnam- EU Joint Committee to implement PCA held

Vietnamese deputy minister of foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang affirmed that Vietnam supports the strengthening of the ASEAN-EU strategic partnership, with priority given to stepping up trade-investment cooperation, responding to global climate challenges, the environment, natural disasters, epidemics, contributing to green and sustainable development, and sub-regional development cooperation.

The EU proposed that the two sides continue to boost cooperation in key areas, including trade and investment, while expanding cooperation in new areas like tax, biodiversity conservation, global plastic waste treatment, labour and illegal migration prevention, media outlets in Vietnam reported.

The EU highly valued Vietnam's impressive achievements in socio-economic development and international integration.

The EU side was led by acting managing director of Asia and Pacific of the European External Action Service Paola Pampaloni.
