A delegation from the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium in Vietnam, led by Ambassador Karl Van den Bossche, held a working session with the leaders of Ha Tinh province on May 11 to promote cooperation across various sectors, including investment, trade, education, social welfare, and human resource development.
During the meeting, the Belgian Ambassador highlighted Ha Tinh as a locality with immense growth potential, noting that both sides have successfully implemented several effective cooperation projects in recent years.
Ambassador Van den Bossche stated that many Belgian enterprises are currently expanding their investment activities in Vietnam. He committed that the Embassy would continue to promote Ha Tinh’s potential and advantages to major Belgian corporations and businesses to encourage further investment research and collaboration in the province.
Speaking at the session, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Mr. Phan Thien Dinh, expressed his desire to leverage the Embassy’s support to establish connections between Ha Tinh and Belgian localities. This bridge is expected to expand cooperation into new fields in the near future.
With significant strengths in industry, logistics, and urban development, the locality is actively promoting its investment environment to Belgian businesses. The province committed to creating favorable conditions for long-term cooperation programs.
As part of the working session, the Ha Tinh Department of Home Affairs and EB Services Co., Ltd. (a member of Central Retail Vietnam) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on human resource development. This agreement aims to improve the quality of the local workforce and enhance employment connectivity for the province.
Over the years, the Belgian Government has supported Ha Tinh with four ODA projects totaling over 9.35 million EUR ($11 million). These projects focus on water resource management, climate-resilient urban development, green growth, and public governance capacity building.
