The visit aims to further strengthen diplomatic and economic relations between the Netherlands and Vietnam.

The Netherlands is an important partner of Viet Nam in Europe, and Viet Nam always attaches importance to its friendly relations and effective multifaceted cooperation with the Netherlands, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has affirmed at a reception for newly-accredited Dutch Ambassador to Vietnam Elsbeth Akkerman in Ha Noi recently.

Trade and investment cooperation between two countries have been growing steadily, with the latter currently Vietnam’s largest export market in the EU.

The Netherlands is among the largest European investors in Vietnam, ranking 11th out of the 119 countries and territories investing in Vietnam.

The trade values between the two nations exceeded US$ 7.77 billion in 2017.
