Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation focused primarily on health, technical education and vocational training (including in the hotel and tourism industry), rural development, and good governance. Within the context of Luxembourg’s 2015 withdrawal strategy, an economic cooperation will become more important in the next few years, particularly in the field of banking and finance.

The seventh Partnership Commission between Luxembourg and Vietnam took place in Hanoi in November 2012. During her visit, Minister Marie-Josée Jacobs signed financing agreements for the following projects and programmes, which will be implemented from 2012 onwards by various multilateral agencies: the UN One Plan Fund, a new phase in the e-regulations project of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), a skills reinforcement project for UN Women and a project supporting children from ethnic minorities implemented by UNICEF.
