Can Tho (VNA) - Many Danish enterprises wish to seek information and investment opportunities in Vietnam as the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is set to take effect, Troels Jakobsen, Commercial Counsellor at the Embassy of Denmark in Vietnam, said on July 2.

He made the statement during a working session with authorities of the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, which is among eight localities the Danish Embassy plans to pay fact-finding trips to.  

He said Danish businesses are looking for investment opportunities in green growth, renewable energy, health, education, the environment, food safety, and logistics, among others.

He also introduced the DANIDA financial programme to Can Tho, which is sourced from the Danish Government and for public infrastructure projects.

The city purchased goods worth 36,900 USD from Denmark, mostly pharmaceutical materials, agriculture products, and veterinary medicine./.
