During her meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in Ha Noi on March 7, the minister, who is on a working visit, also asked the Vietnamese government to facilitate long-term investment by Danish businesses in Viet Nam.

Deputy PM Phuc affirmed Viet Nam always considers Denmark one among leading economic and trade partners in the European Union (EU).

Phuc suggested that Denmark continues supporting Viet Nam in the negotiations with EU on a bilateral free trade agreement. Viet Nam also wishes that Denmark helps urge EU to soon recognise Viet Nam as a market economy, he noted.

The Deputy PM said Viet Nam appreciates Denmark ’s support and assistance over the past time, especially during the time it held the EU presidency.
