Vietnam also showed its integration commitments through signing the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), they added.

It demonstrates the determination to implement the policy of multilateralisation of international relations, and also actively participate in the group of countries taking actions against climate change.

Mai Tuan Dat, an engineer of a Belgian aerospace company, judged that thanks to the implementation of renewal and economic model transformation since 1986, Vietnam has kept high economic growth in the region for many consecutive years.

Ngo Chanh Duc, a PhD student at University of Luxembourg, commented that the Vietnamese community in Belgium in particular and Europe in general would enjoy new development opportunities thanks to cooperative relations between Vietnam and the two regions.

Meanwhile, Dang Van Thuong, a PhD student at Belgium’s University of Liège, highly valued Vietnam’s development in education-training and science and technology, adding that the Vietnamese community in Belgium hopes the Party and State to pay more attention to overseas expatriates, especially citizen protection, policies to attract intellectuals and overseas Vietnamese businessmen to work and invest in Vietnam, and supporting Vietnamese language teaching and learning for overseas Vietnamese.
