At the reception of Danish Ambassador Charlotte Laursen, President Truong Tan Sang said he was impressed by the sentiments of the Danish Queen, Royal family members and people towards Vietnam.
The leader told that since the establishment of the comprehensive partnership, Vietnam and Denmark have seen strong development in economic and trade ties. Denmark’s official development assistance (ODA) has been effective in Vietma,, he said.
The President promised to create all possible conditions for Danish businesses to invest in Vietnam in their strong areas such as renewable energies and agriculture.
Charlotte Laursen said the two countries have set up a strategic partnership in climate change, the environment, energy and green growth.
The Ambassador emphasized Denmark’s advantages in agriculture, energy, climate change and education which, she said, are expected to boost cooperation between the two countries.
In another meeting with DPRK Ambassador Kim Myong Gil, President Sang affirmed Vietnam’s special attention to relations with traditional friends, including the DPRK.
He expressed his hope that during his tenure, the Ambassador would coordinate with Vietnamese ministries and branches to seek cooperation opportunities in strong areas for the two sides.
Kim Myong Gil congratulated Vietnam on its socio-economic achievements and noted his wish that the upcoming 12 th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam would be successful, helping realise the country’s industrialisation and modernisation targets.
Welcoming new Chilean Ambassador Claudio Anderes De Negri Quintana, President Sang highlighted the friendship between the two countries, saying Vietnam continually bears in mind Chile’s support to the country during its struggle for independence.
The State leader delighted at the strong development in the relationship, especially since the two countries signed a free trade agreement in 2013.
For his part, the Chilean Ambassador said apart from enhancing economic and trade ties, the two countries should increase cooperation in culture and tourism to help their people understand the respective countries’ history.
The diplomat vowed to do his utmost to cultivate friendship on the basis of cooperative outcomes.
At a meeting with Turkish Ambassador Akif Ayhan, President Sang said Vietnam attaches importance to cooperation with Turkey and suggested the two sides enhance high-ranking delegation exchanges.
Both the two sides shared viewpoints on activities celebrating the 40th founding anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties in 2018 as well as cultural and tourism exchanges between the two countries.
The Turkish Ambassador pledged his maximum efforts to strengthen and diversify bilateral ties, and hoping that Vietnam will continue supporting Turkey to become an ASEAN partner and that the two countries will soon start negotiations on a free trade agreement to enhance their trade ties.
Receiving Sri Lanka Ambassador Saranya Hasathi Urugodawatte Dissanayake, the State leader said Vietnam will forever remember Sri Lanka’s strong supports to the country’s struggle for national liberation and reunification in the past as well as present development.
President Sang expressed his hope that the two countries would step up high-level meetings and cooperation between their ministries, branches and businesses.
The guest said the reopening of embassies in the respective countries has lifted bilateral relations to a new height.
The diplomat expressed her belief that with a lot of similarities, the two countries will be able to support each other in trade and services, contributing to promoting the Sri Lanka - Vietnam ties.
