Ambassador Gerwel expressed his honour to
assume this position, saying that his experience in Vietnam will help promote the two
countries’ relations.
Highlighting his special sentiment towards Vietnam,
he said the Vietnamese community, including students, in Poland is a
bridge helping to intensify bilateral connections.
With regard to priorities during his term, Gerwel said he will prioritise
enhancing cooperation in politics, economy, education-training and culture with
Vietnam.
He expressed his wish for closer coordination between the Polish Embassy and
ministries, sectors and localities of Vietnam.
Stressing economic ties, the diplomat said his country is strong in
agriculture, food and pharmaceutical production, shipbuilding and mining, so it
wants to step up partnerships in these spheres.
Poland has established a
trade office in Vietnam
and this is one of the first overseas representative offices of the Polish
Investment and Trade Agency, showing the importance his country attaches to
economic links with the Southeast Asian nation, he noted.
Ambassador Gerwel expressed his belief that the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement
(EVFTA) will take effect soon. He added LOTPolish Airlines, the national
flag carrier of Poland,
plans to open a direct air route to Vietnam, and this route will help
shorten the two countries’ distance and facilitate tourism cooperation.
At the meeting, PM Phuc pledged the best possible conditions for the ambassador
to promote collaboration with Vietnamese ministries, sectors and localities.
There remains much room for trade ties, he said, noting that bilateral trade is
able to rise strongly from the current revenue of over 1 billion USD.
He asked Poland
to promote the signing and ratification of the EVFTA. The two sides should also
work closely to disburse the preferential credit package of 250 million EUR
that Poland pledged for Vietnam.
The Government leader also applauded the planned opening of a direct air route,
saying he believes that it will help bolster investment, tourism and cultural
exchange between the two countries.

Seven years after the 12th Party Central Committee’s Resolution, Tan Lac district has seen considerable progresses.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce decisions regarding the apparatus restructuring of the province’s political system and personnel affairs.
Following the results of the military enlistment examination for 2025, Lac Son district has seen 100 young men and women volunteering to enlist in the military. Among these recruits, there are several families where two siblings have both written voluntary enlistment letters, eager to undertake the sacred task of protecting the nation.
As the Party Organisation and people of Hoa Binh province welcome the arrival of spring, they take pride in the remarkable achievements obtained under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), which turns 95 this spring. With a shared determination to build a prosperous future, they embrace ambitious aspirations for national development, joining hands with the whole country to prepare to enter a new era-one of national progress and advancement.
In 2023, the relic site where President Ho Chi Minh visited the Chi Hoa Production Group in Lam Son commune, Luong Son district of Hoa Binh province, was officially recognised as a provincial-level revolutionary historical site. Each year, it draws numerous visitors from across Vietnam and abroad, becoming a "red address" for educating young generations on the nation's revolutionary traditions.
According to the Party Charter, Party members who have been active in the revolution for a long time, and have maintained their Party membership for 30 years and more, will be awarded the Party badge. This is a noble reward, not only a source of pride and excitement for the Party members themselves and their families, but also a source of pride for the Party organisation that has such outstanding members who are shining examples for everyone to learn from and follow.
