Denmark and Vietnam are deepening their collaboration in key areas to promote a green and sustainable future. During a visit to Copenhagen, Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha met with Danish leaders, including Parliament Speaker Soren Gade and Climate Minister Lars Aagaard. The meeting focused on discussions on partnerships in renewable energy, green growth, and climate change adaptation.
Denmark pledged to share technology and expertise to support Vietnam’s energy transition and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Both sides agreed to foster business cooperation in areas such as smart infrastructure and climate resilience.
A joint action plan for 2024-2025 was signed under their Green Strategic Partnership, focusing on sustainable development. Denmark also committed to supporting Vietnam as it hosts the 2024 P4G Summit (the upcoming global conference, focused on driving green growth).
The visit underscores the two nations’ shared commitment to addressing global environmental challenges while enhancing bilateral ties.
Call for Danish Investment
During his visit, Deputy PM Ha urged Danish businesses to invest in Vietnam, particularly in offshore wind power and other green initiatives, according to The Investor. Highlighting Vietnam’s advantages, such as its large market, position as a gateway to Asia, and commitment to net-zero by 2050, he encouraged firms to focus on technology transfer and green finance while collaborating on updating Vietnam’s legal framework to facilitate foreign investment.
