President Francois Hollande reviewed France’s relationship with China, India, and Japan, and applauded the progress of the France-Vietnam relationship since his visit to Vietnam last September. He said: “I visited Vietnam last year and recalled the 1950s when France and Vietnam were indiscord. We also planned future cooperation, especially in technology and new energy. We would like French-Vietnamese people to invest more in Vietnam and help popularize French in Vietnam.”
President Hollande reaffirmed France’s solidarity with Asian countries.
