At the reception, Ambassador Karl Van den Bossche said that was the third time he had visited Binh Dinh and was very impressed with the changes in the province's socio-economic development. The purpose of his visit was that he wanted to learn more about the dioxin contamination at Phu Cat airport, and thereby be able to discuss directly with the locality about treatment; then proposed financial support to completely eliminate the dioxin contamination at Phu Cat airport, contributing to the sustainable development of that area.
Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan thanked the Ambassador for his attention and hoped that the Kingdom of Belgium and the international community would continue to support and coordinate with Viet Nam in handling dioxin contamination at Phu Cat airport; thereby not affecting people's health and lives, and also creating conditions for the provincial socio-economic development.
Mr. Pham Anh Tuan said that over the past time, Binh Dinh province had continuously improved its infrastructure and fully prepared conditions to facilitate investment. The province was focusing on inviting investment in a number of areas, so he hoped that the Ambassador would support in introducing and connecting Belgian business delegations to learn about cooperation and investment opportunities in Binh Dinh, and also in helping the products that Binh Dinh had strengths to be exported to Belgium.
Ambassador Karl Van den Bossche also discussed more about directions for effective cooperation to exploit and promote potential and strengths, meeting the needs of both sides.
