Activities mark the 45th Anniversary of Vietnam-Denmark relationship

“Our bilateral partnership has developed into a broader based relationship building on trust and mutual respect under the framework of our Comprehensive Partnership Agreement”, the Ambassador of Denmark to Vietnam Charlotte Laursen said in a press release on October 21.

There are a series of cultural activities to take place in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city to mark the 45th anniversary of the bilateral relations between Vietnam and Denmark.

Firstly, on October 21, Danish band Saveus performs at the Monsoon Music Festival by Tuborg in Thang Long Citadel, Hanoi, a festival the Embassy has supported since its debut in 2014.

In addition to bringing Saveus to Vietnam this time, the Festival also includes a performance slot for young uprising Vietnamese artists called Lucky Duck, inspired by Danish fairy tales.

On October 25, the Embassy hosts a Gala Performance at Hanoi Opera House directed by artist Quoc Trung, for the Embassy’s counterparts and the Danish Community in Vietnam.

From 19 to 25 November, Danish Film Weeks in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city introduces the Danish contemporary film industry to the Vietnamese public. Denmark has created a vast amount of talented actors and film makers with worldwide reputation.

On November 26, Danish Footprints, a community event for Danish companies, their counterparts, employees and families is held in Ho Chi Minh City. At this event, Danish companies will showcase their CSR initiatives and engage in a series of activities, including jogging/running and a street art workshop.

Denmark is one of the first European countries to recognize Vietnam, in 1971, and is one of the biggest contributors of official development assistance (ODA) since 1993. Danish ODA in Vietnam focused on water, sanitation, agriculture, environment, and good governance projects and is considered among the most successful of Danish ODA worldwide.

Within the framework of the Comprehensive Partnership Agreement, the Vietnamese-Danish relationship today is a partnership build in trust focusing on political dialogue, economic and commercial activities and targeted ODA-projects matching Denmark’s strengths within green growth, food and agriculture, health services, and education to Vietnam’s agenda to develop a modernized and higher middle income country by 2035.
