While in HCMC, Ms. Dyhr will also attend the opening ceremony of a new diabetes centre facilitated by Danish medical giant Novo Nordisk and visit a successful Vietnamese-Danish joint-venture.
The Minister’s visit continues in Hanoi where she will have meetings with the relevant political leaders of Vietnam and deliver the opening speech at a Tech Change Seminar on Waste Management, a key area for Danish investment in Vietnam.
‘’The visit by the Minister for Trade and Investment reflects the strengthened relations between Vietnam and Denmark. Vietnam is an important commercial partner for Denmark and Danish companies have unique products and know-how in a wide range of areas of great importance to Vietnam, particularly within Green Growth, health-care and food products” says Danish Ambassador to Vietnam Mr. John Nielsen.
The visit by Ms. Pia Olsen Dyhr marks an important step towards the finalization of the strategic partnership between Denmark and Vietnam, which is expected to be signed during the Vietnamese President’s visit to Denmark later this year.
