Ambassador Gerwel expressed his honour to
assume this position, saying that his experience in Vietnam will help promote the two
countries’ relations.
Highlighting his special sentiment towards Vietnam,
he said the Vietnamese community, including students, in Poland is a
bridge helping to intensify bilateral connections.
With regard to priorities during his term, Gerwel said he will prioritise
enhancing cooperation in politics, economy, education-training and culture with
Vietnam.
He expressed his wish for closer coordination between the Polish Embassy and
ministries, sectors and localities of Vietnam.
Stressing economic ties, the diplomat said his country is strong in
agriculture, food and pharmaceutical production, shipbuilding and mining, so it
wants to step up partnerships in these spheres.
Poland has established a
trade office in Vietnam
and this is one of the first overseas representative offices of the Polish
Investment and Trade Agency, showing the importance his country attaches to
economic links with the Southeast Asian nation, he noted.
Ambassador Gerwel expressed his belief that the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement
(EVFTA) will take effect soon. He added LOTPolish Airlines, the national
flag carrier of Poland,
plans to open a direct air route to Vietnam, and this route will help
shorten the two countries’ distance and facilitate tourism cooperation.
At the meeting, PM Phuc pledged the best possible conditions for the ambassador
to promote collaboration with Vietnamese ministries, sectors and localities.
There remains much room for trade ties, he said, noting that bilateral trade is
able to rise strongly from the current revenue of over 1 billion USD.
He asked Poland
to promote the signing and ratification of the EVFTA. The two sides should also
work closely to disburse the preferential credit package of 250 million EUR
that Poland pledged for Vietnam.
The Government leader also applauded the planned opening of a direct air route,
saying he believes that it will help bolster investment, tourism and cultural
exchange between the two countries.

In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
