PM welcomes Danish trade minister

The PM said he is fully confident that the early ratification of the Partnership and Co-operation Agreement and the free trade agreement between Vietnam and the European Union (EU) will open up new opportunities for Vietnam and the EU, including Denmark.

He also took the occasion to ask for Denmark's continued official development assistance to Vietnam, especially for climate change response and environmental protection.

The host also expressed his wish that Denmark help the Vietnamese expatriate community assimilate into their society.

Minister Jensen, for his part, affirmed that Denmark has always valued co-operation with Vietnam across sectors, and hopes that the upcoming Vietnam-EU FTA will boost economic development in both countries.

He hailed the Vietnamese government for its efforts in institutional reform and improving the business climate, adding that his accompanying delegation of 18 businesses from the energy, food, health care, and education sectors are eager to explore investment prospects in Vietnam.

The minister reiterated his willingness to continue supporting Vietnam in climate change response, environmental protection, and green technology, and vowed to assist the Vietnamese community living in Denmark.
