The diplomat, who had a trip to Toulouse from April 2 to 4, listed a series of potential spheres for collaboration including industry, services, health, education-training, research, and high technology, thus contributing to the post-pandemic recovery.
Thang said the French city has teamed up with Vietnam, particularly the capital Hanoi, many times, with both sides effectively implementing projects on archeology and cultural heritage preservation and promotion.
For his part, the mayor noted he is willing to work with Vietnam in sectors of the sides’ advantages and pledged to increase cooperation with Hanoi and the union of French cities (Cites Unies France – CUF) to hold the 12th edition of a Vietnam-France conference of decentralized cooperation in Hanoi this December.
