During a state visit to Hà Nội, French President Emmanuel Macron oversaw the signing of major defense and aerospace deals between France and Viet Nam, including a significant agreement involving Airbus aircraft and satellite technology.
The deals, reportedly valued at up to €10 billion, include cooperation on both civil aviation and space infrastructure — reflecting deepening ties between the two nations in strategic industries.
Viet Nam’s growing demand for advanced aerospace and surveillance capabilities aligned with France’s interest in expanding its presence in the Indo-Pacific, making the agreements a win-win for both countries.
Officials emphasized that the partnership goes beyond commercial gains, aiming to support regional stability, high-tech development, and capacity-building in aviation and satellite services.
