HCM City (VNA) – The Embassy and Trade Office of Sweden in Vietnam opened a green exhibition and launched the “Sweden - Vietnam Business Footprint” on October 21, affirming the European country’s commitment to promoting bilateral cooperation for a green future.
The exhibition forms part of the Green Economy Forum and Exhibition (GEFE) 2024 held in Ho Chi Minh City by the European Chamber of Commerce (EuroCham) in Vietnam and the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Swedish Ambassador to Vietnam Johan Ndisi said the Swedish green exhibition celebrates the 55th anniversary of the bilateral diplomatic ties (1969 - 2024). It reflects not only the close-knit, and time-honoured partnership between the two countries but also the common values and aspirations that unite them.
Over the last 55 years, he noted, Sweden and Vietnam have nurtured a relationship based on mutual respect, cooperation, and friendship. They have worked with each other in various spheres, including trade, economy, development, education, and environmental sustainability.
Looking towards the future, Sweden pledges to further strengthen cooperation with Vietnam, particularly in such areas as economy, trade, innovation, and sustainable development to jointly resolve global challenges and work towards a more equitable and sustainable world, the diplomat added.
The Swedish exhibition is a cooperation platform for fostering a bilateral partnership to accelerate green transition in Vietnam, Ndisi noted, adding that by introducing its solutions, Sweden hopes to inspire closer collaboration between the two countries.
The exhibition sees the presence of some leading Swedish businesses in green technology introducing their products and providing updated information on solutions to meet Vietnam’s needs.
It also gives Vietnamese companies a chance to seek partnerships with Swedish firms in developing green economy, especially renewable energy, emissions reduction, and new technology./.
