They are scheduled to witness the signing of cooperation documents and attend economic forums to concretise cooperation agreements between the two countries on this occasion.

The visit, which is taking place as Vietnam and the Netherlands are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations (1973-2023), is the third by the Dutch Prime Minister to Vietnam since he took office in 2010, following PM Chinh’s visit to the Netherlands nine months ago.

Prime Minister Rutte reiterated that the Netherlands attaches importance to its relationship with Vietnam, and wishes to promote cooperation with Vietnam across spheres.
