Belgium’s Flemish Minister of Mobility and Public Works Hilde Crevits will lead a delegation from Belgium’s Flanders region to visit Vietnam from November 9 to 12 to promote cooperation between the region and Vietnam, said the Belgian Embassy in Hanoi. The visit of the Flemish Minister, which is made at the invitation of Vietnamese Transport Minister Dinh La Thang, will focus on boosting cooperation in port development, development, management, infrastructure, logistics and transport. Minister Hilde Crevits will be accompanied by a delegation of port CEOs (the ports of Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Ghent and Oostend), a representative of the Flemish Ports Association, and a number of experts in port infrastructure and management. The Minister is scheduled to have meetings with Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai, Transport Minister Dinh La Thang, and a number of officials from the Ministries of Industry and Trade, and Agriculture and Rural Development. During the past years, the two countries have continuously developed the multifaceted cooperation, including trade and investment, with two-way trade in 2011 increasing by 70 percent in 2003. The trade volume between the two countries has increased year after year and is around €1.2 billion per year. Relations between the Flemish Region of Belgium and Vietnam have strongly increased since the late 1990's, when the first agreement on port cooperation was signed.
