ICI President Adrian Victor Vevera welcomes the Prime Minister to visit
According to him, the relationship between the two countries is built on trust, creating great opportunities for rapid and sustainable development for both countries through innovation. Vietnam and Romania also have similarities and strengths to mark their position in the world.
Greeting everyone in Romanian, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh commented that the relationship between the two countries over the past 70 years has had ups and downs, and breakthroughs. The Prime Minister said that many Vietnamese people studying in Romania have grown up to become doctors, professors, ministers, managers in the construction and information technology sectors, etc.
He recalled that when promoting the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement, Romania played a decisive role in convincing EU countries to approve this agreement. Romania was also one of the first countries to ratify the Vietnam-EU Investment Protection Agreement. Thanks to this, two-way trade turnover between Vietnam and the EU has increased 2-3 times in recent years, including the Covid-19 pandemic.
Looking to the future, the Prime Minister suggested that the two sides discuss cooperation in information technology and artificial intelligence (AI) when Romania has ICI and Vietnam also has the National Innovation Center (NIC).
Talking about those bright spots, the Prime Minister wanted to thank his "friend" Romania for much help in the past.
