At a reception for Grand Duke of Luxembourg Henri, the Chairman of the Thua Thien-Hue provincial People’s Committee, Nguyen Van Cao said Luxembourg-funded projects have greatly helped Thua Thien-Hue develop rural infrastructure and tourism facilities.

Thua Thien-Hue will create favourable conditions for Luxembourg businesses to invest in the province, especially in its potential areas such as tourism, science and technology and health care, Cao said.

The Grand Duke highly appreciated the effective cooperation between the province and Luxemburg organizations in carrying out projects in Vietnam, and said he hopes Luxembourg will maintain and provide more aid for the province and Vietnam as a whole.

Earlier in Hanoi, the delegation visited and laid wreaths at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the Heroic Martyrs’ Monument, and visited Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature - the first Vietnamese university).

On the same day, Luxembourg’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn talked with students from the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, while Minister of the Economy and Foreign Trade Jeannot Krecke worked with representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Ministry of Transport.

On November 9, the delegation visited the Tu Duc Tomb, Luxembourg-funded project sites, Hue Tourism College and St Paul de Chartres orphanage.
