French President Emmanuel Macron has concluded several high-stakes deals worth over $10 billion during his visit to Hanoi, Vietnam. The agreements cover defence, satellites, nuclear energy, and vaccines.
During the visit, Airline VietJet agreed to buy 20 more Airbus planes, further solidifying its position in the Southeast Asian market.
The US trade tensions with Washington have driven Macron’s efforts to boost France-Vietnam ties, a move aimed at countering American influence in the region.
