Deputy Head of Mission at the Norwegian Embassy in Hanoi, Mette Møglestue, participated on 8 August 2025 in the ceremonial flag-raising to mark the 58th anniversary of the founding of ASEAN and the 30th anniversary of Vietnam’s membership,.
Norway became a sectoral dialogue partner to ASEAN in 2015. Since then the country has cooperated closely with Vietnam on regional initiatives, like ocean governance and other bilateral programmes.
The embassy highlighted Vietnam’s strong support for Norway’s engagement with ASEAN, both in Jakarta and Hanoi, on their Facebook page.
“Vietnam is a proactive and reliable member within ASEAN, playing a central role in enhancing the group’s cohesion and external relations,” the embassy noted.
