The French Embassy in Vietnam on Wednesday inked an agreement with local travel firms on more convenient visa application procedures in an attempt to tap the burgeoning number of Vietnamese taking vacations in the European country.
The agreement signing ceremony, held in Hanoi, was attended by Jean-Noel Poirier, French Ambassador to Vietnam; Matthias Fekl, French Secretary of State for Foreign Trade; Nguyen Ngoc Son, Vietnamese Ambassador to France; and representatives of six Vietnamese travel companies, the Communist Party of Vietnam’s portal reported.
