Minister of Development Cooperation Ulla Torones showed her impression on Vietnam's great economic development as well as the Vietnamese Government's determination and success in fighting against corruption. She was convinced that Vietnam will quickly advance from a developing country to a developed one with a sustainable economy soon. So, Denmark will shift from granting aids to Vietnam to boosting economic and commercial cooperation and developing private economic sectors.
The Danish Minister informed that Denmark had ratified the Strategy to Support Vietnam's Development up to 2010. The two countries will negotiate for follow-up supports, focusing on environmental protection, development of private economy, cooperation in natural disaster and HIV/AIDS control.
On behalf of the Vietnamese Government, Deputy PM Nguyễn Sinh Hùng thanked Denmark's support to Vietnam in international cooperation and other fields. The Deputy PM asserted that Vietnam is trying best in economic development, poverty reduction, environmental protection, anticorruption, and fulfillment of millennium goals. He asserted that Vietnam always highly values international cooperation and supports from organizations and countries throughout the world, including Denmark. This will considerably help Vietnam in getting out of poverty and underdevelopment, added the Deputy PM.
