He highlighted outcomes of cooperation between Việt Nam and Belgium in dioxin remediation in the Southeast Asian nation, notably the application of Belgium’s technology in this field at Biên Hòa airport, and the delivery of wheelchairs to Vietnamese AO/dioxin victims. Progress has been made in the bilateral defence ties, he said, elaborating that the two sides signed a framework agreement on collaboration in this sphere, exchanged many delegations, especially those at the high level, and cooperated in personnel training and military medicine.
