Luxembourg
Vietnam

Luxembourg and Vietnam established diplomatic relations in 1973.[1] Luxembourg's representation in Vietnam is through its embassy in Bangkok, Thailand.[2] Vietnam is represented through its embassy in Brussels, Belgium.[3]

Mutual international support

In December 2008, Vietnam called on Luxembourg to support its ties with European Union. For its part, Vietnam is backing Luxembourg's candidacy for the post of non-permanent member at the UN Security Council.[4]

Trade links

Vietnam is one of the ten key countries in Luxembourg's development cooperation program.[5] The countries have agreed to build a legal framework to facilitate business ties.[6] At a meeting between Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng and his Luxembourg counterpart, Jean-Claude Juncker, in September 2006, the two Prime Ministers agreed the need to boost bilateral trade ties based on the combination of Luxembourg's advanced technology and Vietnam's intensive labour force.[7] Nguyễn Tấn Dũng, in October 2007, praised the cooperation by Luxembourg companies in finance and education and expressed the wish to boost bilateral ties with Luxembourg in these areas.[8] In December 2008, according to Vietnam National Assembly Chairman Nguyễn Phú Trọng, there was still much potential for further economic and commercial co-operation.[9]

Development Cooperation

Luxembourg pledged EUR35 million in aid for the 2002-05 period.[1]
