The Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' statement affirmed that this is the first state visit of the Belgian Royal Family to Vietnam since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1973. In the context of Vietnam increasingly affirming its position as one of the most dynamic economies in Asia, the visit is of special significance, opening up opportunities for the two countries to further deepen their partnership.

One of the focuses of the visit is to promote cooperation in the field of sustainable development. Belgium wishes to act as an "ambassador of sustainability" in Vietnam, sharing experience and technology in the fields of green economy, renewable energy, environmental management and sustainable urban development.

Belgian businesses are increasingly interested in the Vietnamese market, especially in the fields of biotechnology, healthcare and high-tech agriculture. This visit is an opportunity for businesses from both countries to seek cooperation and investment opportunities.

In addition to economic cooperation and sustainable development, the visit is also an opportunity for Belgium to express its concern about the consequences of the Vietnam War, especially the issue of Agent Orange. The Belgian Royal Family wishes to show solidarity with the victims and contribute to efforts to overcome the consequences of the war.

The State visit of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde is expected to create new momentum for Vietnam-Belgium cooperation, opening up new opportunities for cooperation in many fields. Mutual understanding and respect for cultural differences are considered the key to strengthening this partnership.
