Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Huynh Cach Mang said the celebration is a chance to review achievements and affirm commitments for future relations.

Dutch Consul-General in Ho Chi Minh City Carel Richter affirmed that the special relations between his country and Vietnam were built up on the basis of their friendship. Over the past years, the bonds between HCMC and the Netherlands have been strengthened through cooperative activities in trade and investment. HCMC was also chosen to build a “Dutch House” to support Dutch enterprises operating in the city.
