Accompanying Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his wife on the working trip were: Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son; Minister, Head of the Government Office Tran Van Son; Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung; Deputy Minister of Public Security Nguyen Van Long; Deputy Minister of National Defense Nguyen Hong Thai; Deputy Minister of Finance Ho Sy Hung; Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang; Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hoang Long; Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Xuan Sang; Vice President of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology Chu Hoang Ha; Vietnamese Ambassador to Finland and Estonia Pham Thi Thanh Binh; Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang; Vietnamese Ambassador to Sweden Tran Van Tuan.
This is the first time a Vietnamese Prime Minister has attended the United Nations Ocean Conference; the first time a Prime Minister has visited France since the two countries upgraded their relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership; the first visit to Sweden in six years by a Vietnamese Prime Minister; and the first time a key Vietnamese leader has visited Estonia since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1992.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's attendance at the Third United Nations Ocean Conference strongly demonstrates Vietnam's commitment to being an active and responsible member of the international community, promoting multilateralism, the role of the United Nations and compliance with international law, especially the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982) in resolving sea and ocean issues, thereby contributing to strongly spreading the message of a proactive, positive, responsible Vietnam, ready to promote cooperation and partnership for a blue, peaceful, stable, sustainable and prosperous ocean as the conference aims for.
On the bilateral level, the visit will further deepen relations between Vietnam and France, Sweden and Estonia, countries with important roles and positions in Europe.
France is currently a Comprehensive Strategic Partner, while Estonia and Sweden are traditional friends and have multifaceted cooperative relations with Vietnam.
The working trip also aims to promote deeper cooperation with the European Union (EU), promote the role of a bridge for multi-faceted cooperation between EU and ASEAN countries, enhance coordination in solving regional and global issues, and contribute to peace, stability, cooperation and sustainable development in each region and the world.
