Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a cordial setting, conveying warm greetings from key Vietnamese leaders and inviting visits to Vietnam. He emphasized Vietnam's desire to enhance cooperation globally and deepen diplomatic relations, earning praise from international leaders for the country's socio-economic progress.

Chinh congratulated von der Leyen on her re-election and expressed gratitude for the EU's support following super typhoon Yagi's impact on Vietnam. He outlined three key priorities for strengthening Vietnam-EU relations: increasing high-level exchanges, resolving outstanding bilateral issues like the IUU "Yellow Card," and encouraging EU member states to ratify the Vietnam-EU Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA). He also requested continued EU support for Vietnam in adapting to sustainability regulations and for executing the Political Declaration on the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).

President von der Leyen endorsed Chinh's proposals, emphasizing the need for enhanced economic, trade, and investment cooperation through the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). She called for coordinated efforts to strengthen ASEAN-EU ties and expressed hope for Vietnam's support in EU initiatives promoting peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean regions. Chinh extended an invitation for von der Leyen to visit Vietnam and attend the 4th Summit of the Partnership for Green Growth and Global Goals (P4G) in April 2025.
