Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc

The 8-day visits are being made at the invitations of President of the European Council Donald Tusk, President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, Austrian Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, and Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

PM Phuc’s attendance at ASEM 12, P4G and his visits to Austria, Belgium, Denmark and the EU aim to affirm Vietnam’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, cooperation and development, diversification and multilateralization of international relations, and active international integration. The visits also convey the message of Vietnam’s greater integration into the international community, enhancement of multilateral diplomacy, contributions to building and shaping multilateral institutions and effective participation in the settlement of global challenges at multilateral organizations.
