The same day, derstandard.de ran an article on President Vo Van Thuong’s visit to Burgenland to discuss bilateral relations and energy transition.
According to the article, at the meeting, Governor Doskozil suggested making genius musician Joseph Haydn a model in the two sides’ efforts to deepen the partnership and benefit each other.
President Vo Van Thuong welcomed the idea, saying that music will bring the peoples of Burgenland and Vietnam closer.
Under the title of "Burgenland's energy transition - a model for Vietnam," an article in Kronen Zeitung newspaper - krone.at - said that a high-level Vietnamese delegation led by President Vo Van Thuong visited Burgenland to learn about key projects that the state is carrying out to achieve its zero net emission goal in the next few years.
According to the article, there is no surprise that the Vietnamese leader chose to come to Burgenland within the framework of his official visit to Austria as Vietnam is particularly heavily affected by climate change.
In addition to the above newspapers, other Austrian news sites such as kurier.at, wienerbezirksblatt.at, and regionews.at also reported about the leader's activities in Austria.
