Jean Asselborn said this is the fifth time he has visited Vietnam since
2004 and he will spend time touring the country in his upcoming visits.
PM Phuc welcomed the signing of a framework agreement on
cooperation between the two governments, saying it creates a cooperation
framework suitable for the new situation, especially in cooperation for
development and climate change response support.
He spoke highly of Luxembourg
as the fifth biggest European Union investor in Vietnam and expressed his hope that
the two countries will work to facilitate their businesses to meet and partner
in the fields of finance-banking, tourism, and green growth.
The two countries should step up the completion of all
remaining issues of the Investment Protection Agreement (IPA) and launch
relevant procedures to sign the Free Trade Agreement on the sidelines of the
upcoming 12th ASEM, the leader said.
Vietnam has treasured and thanked Luxembourg for providing it with
non-refundable aid worth 124 million Euros from 1995 to 2015, he said.
He expected that the European country will continue
aiding Vietnam in responding to climate change, and speed up cooperation with
Vietnam in building and developing the financial and banking markets as it has
a lot of experience and has carried out a number of efficient cooperative
programmes with Vietnam in the field.
Minister Jean Asselborn said Luxembourg’s
maintenance of ODA provision for Vietnam
over the past 25 years showed its respect to developing the ties with Vietnam.
He expressed his delight at the growing trade value
between the two countries and pledged that his country will work together with Vietnam to
raise the value.
He spoke highly of PM Phuc’s speech relating to
environmental protection at the recent G7 Outreach Summit and offered the
sharing of his country’s experience in green bond model for application in Vietnam.
He expected that the EU and Vietnam
will soon sign their free trade agreement to facilitate the stronger
cooperation between Vietnam
and other EU members in the future.

The subcommittee for documents of the 18th Hoa Binh provincial Party Congress, the 2025 - 2030 term, convened on March 3 to review and incorporate public feedback on the congress’s draft documents. The meeting was chaired by Nguyen Phi Long, an alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee. It was attended by senior provincial officials, including Bui Thi Minh, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the provincial People’s Council; Bui Duc Hinh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; other members of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee; and members of the document subcommittee.
Muong Bi - Tan Lac, one of the four major Muong ethnic minority-inhabited regions in Hoa Binh, is known for not only its distinctive cultural identity but also its proud history of heroism, with great contributions to the victory against US invaders in the past. Today, Tan Lac district continues to uphold this legacy while embracing development and renewal.
March 3 marked the first official working day for specialised agencies under the provincial People's Committee following the merger or transfer of functions and tasks from the previous agencies. On this day, the newly merged departments and agencies took proactive steps to arrange personnel, organise workflows, and implement tasks efficiently, ensuring that administrative procedures were carried out smoothly without interruption.
Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has thoroughly implemented and adhered to Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on restructuring the organisational apparatus of the political system towards a streamlined, efficient, and effective direction, ensuring no disruption of work.
By mid-February, Da Bac district completed a plan to streamline its organisational apparatus and personnel work, marking a milestone in efforts to promote restructuring towards a leaner, more efficient organisational system, closely following directives from the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, and Conclusion No. 121-KL/TW, and Resolution No. 27-NQ/TU of the provincial Party Committee and Conclusion No. 1103-KL/TU by the provincial Party Organisation’s standing board.
Imbued with President Ho Chi Minh's teaching "The Party cell are the Party’s grassroots foundations. A strong Party cell ensures the effective implementation of the Party’s policies and continuous progress in all tasks," the Party Committee of Kim Boi commune, Kim Boi District, has rolled out the "four-good Party cell" model. The initiative has created a positive change, enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting spirit of Party organisations and their members.
