Mr. Phong was speaking on Thursday during a visit to Vietnam’s pavilion at the ongoing Holiday Fair-Brussels 2017.

Ambassador Phong said he believes the measures will lure more European tourists to Vietnam.

Pascal Van de Moortel, Vietnam Airlines’ representative in Belgium, cited many reasons for European tourists to visit Vietnam, a beautiful nation with political stability.

On Wednesday, Vietnam launched e-visa services on a 2-year pilot scheme.
