Noting that the year 2018 is a special time in the Vietnam - France bilateral strategic cooperation, marking the 45^th anniversary of the diplomatic relationship and the 5^th year since the signing of the strategic partnership, Ambassador Berthand Lortholary said he hoped to seek new progress in the two countries’ relationship, especially in waste treatment, urban traffic systems, education and training, and information technology.

He also suggested that Da Nang should open a direct flight to French localities, and work more closely with the French Agency for Development in carrying out projects, contributing to deepening the relationship between Vietnam and France and between Da Nang and French localities./.
