King Frederik X greeted Vietnam's top leader at Copenhagen Airport on the morning of October 19, receiving him with a traditional horse-drawn carriage ride following an official welcoming ceremony. The gesture reflected the formal nature of To Lam's state visit, which represents a significant diplomatic engagement between Denmark and Vietnam.
The visit comes as Vietnam continues to strengthen its international partnerships across Europe. Denmark, a key member of the European Union and NATO, has maintained diplomatic ties with Vietnam and shares interests in regional stability and economic cooperation.
During his three-day stay in Denmark, To Lam is expected to hold meetings with Danish government officials and explore areas of mutual interest between the two nations. The ceremonial reception underscored the protocol afforded to the Vietnamese leader during this high-level diplomatic visit to Copenhagen.
