On July 13, the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) bestowed its “For Peace and Friendship Among Nations” insignia upon the outgoing Belgian Ambassador to Vietnam Paul Jansen in recognition of his valuable contributions throughout his term of office in Vietnam.

35,000 medical masks donated by the Vietnam - Belgium Friendship Association (BVFA) have been on their ways to Belgium to assist with the fight against the coronavirus pandemic in the Western European country.
