Organised for the fifth time, the event, part of Nordic Day 2023, aims to provide insight into Nordic policies, initiatives, and innovation in green transition, which is relevant and applicable to Vietnam to eliminate waste and pollution, circulating products, and regenerating nature.

“The Nordic model is not only about our common values, our path towards a circular economy is a joint effort of multiple stakeholders across the Nordic region, because our economy and societies are intertwined," said Mr. Keijo Norvanto, Ambassador of Finland to Vietnam.

"Nordic cooperation can become a moral in itself in tackling global challenges and taking bold steps together. We have also learned that what Vietnam has been doing and will be doing in this field,” he added.  

The seminar also provided opportunities for key Vietnamese actors and stakeholders to learn from the Nordic model, driving growth and contributing to the achievement of Agenda 2030, the Paris Agreement, and a full recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
