PM Dung said that he appreciated the Netherlands’ assistance in the field particularly a project to create a long-term development plan for the Mekong Delta in the context of climate change and rising sea levels.
The host leader proposed the two countries spur cooperation in areas that each side is strong, such as maritime economy, seaport and logistics services, while sharing experiences and technology in constructing flood control works, dealing with urban flooding and managing water resources.
The Netherlands should work closely with Vietnamese agencies and ministries to successfully organise activities to mark the 40th anniversary of Viet Nam-Netherlands diplomatic ties, said PM Dung.
For his part, Ambassador Scheffers, who is attending the International Water Day in Can Tho City, affirmed that the Netherlands is willing to share its experience in coping with climate change and water resource challenges with Viet Nam and the Mekong Delta region.
The diplomat highlighted that he will work closely with relevant Vietnamese agencies to hold practical activities to celebrate 40 years of diplomatic ties between the two countries./.
