Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son made the suggestion at a reception for outgoing Danish Ambassador to Viet Nam Kim Højlund Christensen in Hanoi on July 6.
Hailing the effective contributions by the ambassador to the development of the Viet Nam-Denmark comprehensive partnership, Son noted that despite COVID-19 impacts, Viet Nam and Denmark has still maintained regular meetings between senior leaders as well as delegation exchanges at all levels.
Denmark is the third largest European investor of Viet Nam in 2022 and an important trade partner of Viet Nam among EU members, with two-way trade growing positively to 588 million USD in 2021, he said.
Denmark is one of the first EU countries to approve the EU-Viet Nam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA), he added.
For his part, Ambassador Christensen expressed his impression at the progress of the Viet Nam-Denmark relations, and thanked the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ministries, sectors and localities for supporting the Danish Embassy and the diplomat during his working term in Viet Nam.
He held that Denmark’s cooperation orientations in green growth are suitable to the development policy of Viet Nam, affirming that the Government and business community of his country are interested in working with Viet Nam in this field.
The ambassador pledged that he will continue to work hard to reinforce the friendship between the two countries./.
