Addressing the dialogue, Vietnamese Ambassador to Denmark Nguyen Le Thanh emphasized that Vietnam is intensifying comprehensive reforms to improve institutions and policies, enhance transparency and governance, and create a more stable and favorable business environment.
She noted efforts to attract selective investment, particularly in high technology, innovation, the green economy and sustainable development.
The Ambassador said the dialogue provided Danish businesses with an opportunity to engage directly with Vietnam’s policy-making bodies, gain updated information on the investment climate, priority sectors and investment policies, especially those targeting high-quality capital.
The embassy will continue to support stronger connections and investment cooperation between businesses of the two countries, she affirmed.
Discussions were substantive and focused, with Danish firms raising specific questions on Vietnam’s policies to overcome the “middle-income trap”, the implementation of macroeconomic policies, including public debt management, fiscal policy, inflation control and monetary management, as well as policies to attract foreign investment in logistics, particularly warehousing and supply chains.
Participants also discussed Vietnam’s shift from labor-intensive manufacturing towards high-tech industries, its green and sustainable development direction, and policies to reduce emissions, water use and promote circular economy solutions.
Deputy Minister Tam responded to questions and provided clarifications, offering updates on Vietnam’s policy directions, including special incentives for large-scale projects, strategic technology projects and those with spillover effects, as well as policies on developing international financial centers, supporting innovation, building carbon markets and expanding renewable energy towards net-zero emissions by 2050.
Vietnam continues to maintain macroeconomic stability through flexible management and close coordination between fiscal and monetary policies to control inflation, stabilize the exchange rate and ensure major economic balances, while creating a favorable environment for long-term investment, he said.
