Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said the Vietnamese and Swedish governments would play a facilitating role by setting out major strategies, programmes, and plans, and by creating favourable conditions for businesses to cooperate, invest, and grow together.

The year 2024 marks the 55th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Sweden, the first Western country to recognise and establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam in 1969.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said on May 27 that Vietnam hopes that Swedish investors and businesses will cooperate with and invest in the Southeast Asian nation.
