Luxembourg PM welcomes Vietnamese counterpart

Prime Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel hosted an official welcome ceremony for Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on December 9 in the capital city of Luxembourg.

This is the first official visit to Luxembourg by the Vietnamese leader. The visit takes place at a time when the bilateral relations are flourishing after nearly five decades of diplomatic ties, especially in investment and development.

 Having invested 2.6 billion USD in Vietnam, Luxembourg is the third largest EU investor in the Southeast Asian nation and also one of the EU countries that have ratified the EU - Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement early.

The Vietnamese PM's trip is expected to further intensify the friendship and cooperation with Luxembourg and expand cooperation in the fields where each country has strengths and Vietnam has demand such as pharmaceutical technology and logistics./.
