The event was co-hosted by the Vietnamese Embassy in Denmark and the Denmark-Vietnam Friendship Organisation (DAVIFO) on the occasion of the school delegation's upcoming fact-finding trip to Vietnam next month.
In his welcome speech, Vietnamese Ambassador to Denmark Luong Thanh Nghi said this was an extremely meaningful activity aiming to promote mutual understanding between the people of the two countries, especially younger generations.
He briefed participants on Vietnam’s socio-economic development, outcomes in the Vietnam-Denmark relations over the past more than 50 years since the two countries established diplomatic ties as well as the functions and tasks of the Vietnam Embassy in Denmark in deepening and promoting the bilateral relationship.
For her part, DAVIFO President Trine Glue Doan talked about the association’s activities to enhance exchanges and mutual understanding between the people and young generations of the two countries, and shared her personal experiences and love for Vietnam and its people.
According to her, Vietnam is a favourite destination for international businesses and tourists due to the hospitality and friendliness of the people and the diverse culture.
Visitors to the event had the opportunity to get an insight into the culture of Vietnam through a photo exhibition and short films that depict the country. They were also invited to taste traditional Vietnamese dishes.
