Party General Secretary and State President To Lam on Monday received Danish Ambassador to Vietnam Nicolai Prytz, who paid a farewell call upon the completion of his tenure in Vietnam. He highlighted the establishment of the Green Strategic Partnership in 2023 as an important milestone that has opened up new opportunities for cooperation in green growth, energy transition and climate change response. Mr. Lam called on both sides to make full use of the Green Strategic Partnership framework, and strengthen ties in trade, investment, science – technology, education – training, culture and people-to-people exchanges, thereby advancing Vietnam-Denmark relations in a more comprehensive, substantive and sustainable manner.

Ambassador Prytz said that the Government of Denmark places importance on strengthening cooperation with the Asia-Pacific region, in which Vietnam has been identified as one of its key partners and priority countries.

Affirming that Denmark will continue accompanying Vietnam in its green transition and sustainable energy development, the ambassador noted that the two countries still have considerable scope for cooperation in renewable energy, offshore wind power, green infrastructure, digital transformation, healthcare, agriculture and sustainable food systems.
