The doctors and medical experts stressed the need to continue to maintain solidarity and join hands with Vietnamese people in stamping out COVID-19.
The Vietnamese PM said that the sound medical partnership is part of the growing ties between Viet Nam and France. He noted that France has donated 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to Viet Nam, while French doctors and health care experts have also taken many actions to help Viet Nam in its pandemic fight.
He thanked the health care sector as well as doctors and medical experts of France for supporting Viet Nam, expressing his hope that they will continue to assist Viet Nam not only in COVID-19 prevention and control activities but also in all other fields.

He asked the diplomats to continue promoting Viet Nam as a friend and a responsible, reliable partner in the international community while working towards multilateralisation and diversification of relations, ensuring the highest interest of the nation in line with international law and the equal foot among countries, contributing to developing the trend of peace, cooperation and development.

He reiterated that the Party and State consider overseas Vietnamese as an indispensable part of the nation, aan affirmed that the Party and State always create the best conditions for Vietnamese people abroad to make contributions to the national construction and development at home.
