“Vietnamese people always bear in mind and are grateful to Denmark for its valuable support in recent years. Denmark’s huge and continuous ODA for Vietnam has been used effectively, greatly contributing to the country’s socio- economic development, improving the quality of labour and promoting regional and international integration.” Hung told his guest.

Regarding parliamentary cooperation, the top legislator expressed his delight at the bourgeoning ties between the two nations as well as closer cooperation in sharing legislative and executive experience. Hung spoke glowingly of Ambassador John Nielsen’s contributions to fostering the friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries over the past years.

The Dannish diplomat said he is impressed by Vietnam’s tremendous economic development in recent times, notably drastic changes in the Vietnamese legislature and investment policy through revised laws. John Nielsen said his nation would continue to provide ODA for Vietnam and assist the Southeast Asian nation in climate change adaptation, culture and education.
