The Chairman of An Giang Provincial People’s Committee, Ho Van Mung, met with Denmark’s Ambassador to Vietnam, Nicolai Prytz, on 13 November to discuss new areas of cooperation between the province and Danish partners.
During the meeting, Ho Van Mung outlined An Giang’s recent socio-economic development. The newly merged province has nearly 10,000 square kilometres of land and close to five million residents, making it the third-largest in the country. In the first half of 2025, An Giang recorded economic growth of more than 8 percent.
He highlighted tourism, agriculture, fisheries and processing industries as key sectors and noted opportunities for collaboration with Danish companies in areas such as green transition, renewable energy, circular economy solutions and processing industries.
The chairman also said the province hopes to develop ties with Danish localities in tourism promotion and explore cooperation in maritime economy, shipbuilding and transport. He stressed the province’s commitment to preventing illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and called for continued Danish support as Vietnam works to have the EU yellow card lifted.
Ambassador Prytz noted that An Giang could play a strategic role in regional connectivity and pointed to the Spectre An Giang Garment Technology Factory — inaugurated in 2022 — as an example of successful Danish investment. He said the project is expected to contribute positively to the province’s industrial growth and exports.
The ambassador also expressed hope that An Giang authorities would continue creating favourable conditions for Danish companies looking to expand projects such as Spectre An Giang.
