Since Yen Bai and Val-de-Marne formed friendship and cooperative ties in 1996, bilateral relations have been increasingly reinforced and reaped fruitful results.

Yen Bai and Val-de-Marne signed two framework agreements for 2014 - 2019 and 2020 - 2026 under which they have carried out 14 projects at the total cost of 32.2 billion VND (1.37 million USD) in the fields of health care, culture, economic development, agriculture and rural development, environmental planning, and infrastructure. Of the total funding, the Val-de-Marne department council contributed 10.82 billion VND and Yen Bai 6.95 billion VND.

The French side has also raised more than 13 billion VND in sponsorship from partners for cooperation projects in planning, environment, clean water supply, and wastewater treatment.

At the meeting, the two sides reviewed cooperation results, pointed out difficulties, and propose joint activities for the coming time in three priority areas: clean water supply, wastewater collection, access to water resources; ecological transformation, climate change fight, biodiversity conservation; health care and maternal and child health protection.

The delegation of the Val-de-Marne department council visit some households engaging in community-based tourism and a class teaching the ancient Thai ethnic script in Nghia Lo town.
