It follows a trip to France eight months ago by Party General Secretary To Lam, signaling robust progress in the bilateral relations and the solid framework of cooperation that the two countries have built together, Brochet told the press.

The commencement of commercial operations on the elevated section of the Nhon – Hanoi Station metro line last month is a symbol of the Vietnam-France cooperation in sustainable urban transport, French Ambassador Olivier Brochet said at a press conference held in Hanoi on September 11.

Vietnam has a special position in the hearts of the French people, and the French Government will continue to accompany Vietnam during the country’s development process, stated French Ambassador Olivier Brochet at a meeting with the media.
