Today, we open a new chapter in EU-Viet Nam relations. We are deepening our partnership, based on mutual respect and shared ambitions.
The EU and Viet Nam are reliable and predictable partners, united by a strong commitment to the international rules-based order, to multilateralism, and to peace and stability.
Together, we can act on issues that matter to us all – trade, clean energy, security and defence, sustainable development.
Thank you, Mr President Luong Cuong, for your warm welcome and for our very positive discussions during my visit.

President of the European Council
