The Vietnamese PM valued the Denmark-Việt Nam Business Forum, jointly organized by the Việt Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Confederation of Danish Industries, a practical activity which offers opportunities for the business communities of the two countries to share experience and seek for business chances and partnerships.

Over the past year, the trade turnover between the two countries has increased steadily, about 15-20% per year, reaching US $318 million last year. Denmark is running 74 projects in Việt Nam, worth over US $500 million.

However, according to PM Dũng, those results remain incommensurate to the blossoming political ties, great potentials and aspiration of the two governments and peoples.

PM Dũng called upon the two countries’ enterprises to promote their investment and business activities, especially in such promising fields as finance, credit, maritime, seaport, clean energy, IT, agriculture, aquaculture, and beer production.

The Vietnamese Government chief assured that best conditions will be offered to Danish investors. “Your success is ours,” said the PM.

Also on Thursday, PM Nguyễn Tấn Dũng and the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation paid a visit to the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) which was founded in 1917.

The Vietnamese leader expressed his hope that CBS will enhance its cooperation with Vietnamese institutions and academies.

During his stay in Denmark, PM Dũng hosted a dialogue with Danish big companies and groups, paid visits to a wind power plant and some companies, including A.P Moller Maersk and Carlsberg.

He also received Minister of Education and North Europe Cooperation Bertel Hearder and representatives of the Vietnamese community in Denmark.

He witnessed the signing of some agreements on cooperation between some agencies of the two countries.
