The delegation was welcome at the Noi Bai International Airport by Vice Chairwoman of the President's Office Phan Thi Kim Oanh, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang, and Vietnamese Ambassador to Belgium Nguyen Van Thao.

As a major player in the region and one of the most dynamic economies in Asia, Viet Nam is an indispensable partner for Belgium, said Belgian Ambassador to Vietn Nam Van den Bossche.

Philippe's upcoming meetings with the various Vietnamese authorities will therefore offer an excellent opportunity to further deepen and enrich this diverse partnership, the diplomat added.
