The Danish Embassy in Vietnam and the Vietnam – Denmark Friendship Association held a ceremony to present awards to winners of the writing contest “Denmark in Your Eyes” in Hanoi on June 13.
The contest is one of the events to celebrate the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Denmark.
The contest drew the participation of students in grades 9 through 12 from three schools in Hanoi: Nguyen Sieu, Doan Thi Diem and Vinshoool.
Contestants collected pictures from different sources on Denmark and enclosed with them an essay in English which explain why the pictures inspired them, and what it was about the European country.
After two months of launching, the contest attracted 50 entries from students in Hanoi.
Pham Tam Dan, a ninth-grade student at Nguyen Sieu private school, won first prize with a two-week scholarship programme at Niels Brock business school in Copenhagen.
Chairman of the Vietnam-Denmark Friendship Association Tran Hong Ha stressed the contest as a practical event to mark 45 years of the two countries’ diplomatic ties.
Most of the candidates do not have chances to visit Denmark, but they own a deep knowledge about the Danish culture, people and life, he noted.
The Chairman of the Vietnam-Denmark Friendship Association described the youngsters as the best diplomats for cooperation between the two countries, especially in the fields of energy, environment, climate change and green growth.
Danish Ambassador to Vietnam Charlotte Laursen said she was very impressed by the imagination of the Vietnamese students.
The diplomat shared that Pham Tam Dan’s performance really touched the organising board for successfully capturing the mutual trust of Danish people.
A similar programme will be organised in the future, the Ambassador said.
In addition, the organising board also awarded the second, third and consolation prizes.
On the occasion, the Danish Embassy in Vietnam announced the establishment of a network for Vietnamese and Danish students, which will host culture, education and business events.
Earlier, the Danish Embassy in Vietnam and the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry signed a joint action plan in Hanoi in 2016 on February 23.
The 2016 action plan set out priorities and cooperative projects with a view to accelerating bilateral cooperation in politics-diplomacy, trade-investment, green growth-environment, education-research, and culture-people-to-people exchange.
In 2016, Vietnam and Denmark are celebrating the 45th anniversary of their diplomatic ties with a host of visit and cultural exchanges.
