At the headquarters of the world’s leading container shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk, the Deputy PM said that the company’s development strategy aligns with Vietnam’s direction of building a green, sustainable, and smart marine economy. He expressed a desire to collaborate with Maersk to develop modern and smart ports to enhance the competitiveness of the national economy.
Maersk representatives showed their interest in investing in green energy projects in Vietnam, including researching and developing green fuel sources such as hydrogen and ammonia, as well as building energy infrastructure to support green ports and vessels. They also committed to expanding the company's investment in the logistics sector, and focusing on developing a multimodal transport system that effectively connects various transport modes such as rail, inland waterways, and coastal shipping.
In a meeting with the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI), the Vietnamese Deputy PM affirmed that Vietnam will continue to improve its investment and business environment, perfect the legal framework, and create favourable conditions for businesses. He said he believes that with the joint efforts of both sides, the Vietnam-Denmark cooperation will continue to grow stronger in the coming time.
The same day, Deputy PM Ha had a meeting with Christina Sørensen, Senior Partner of the C.I.P Group, one of the world’s leading offshore wind developers. He suggested the group closely collaborate with Vietnamese ministries and agencies to transfer technology, develop planning, ensure national defence and security, and establish an appropriate power transmission system. He also encouraged the C.I.P to explore the possibilities of exporting electricity or producing green hydrogen and green ammonia from offshore wind projects.
