At the signing ceremony, the Netherlands’ Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Cora Van Nieuwenhuizen valued the business environment in Vietnam and its capacity of implementing the public-private partnership model, after her meeting with leaders of Hanoi, Danang, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh city.
She also appreciated the development of circular economy in the southern economic hub Ho Chi Minh City.
The signing ceremony was held in Ho Chi Minh City on April 11 after Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte had finished his working visit to Vietnam at the invitation of his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
The two leaders agreed on the importance of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and Investment Protection Agreement, which are expected to be signed and approved soon, in promoting mutual trade and investment as well as boosting trade between Vietnam and other EU countries, especially the Netherlands.
