Vietnam's top leader begins State visit to Denmark

General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President To Lam, accompanied by his spouse Ngo Phuong Ly and a senior Vietnamese delegation, touched down at Copenhagen Airport on the morning of October 19 (local time). The arrival marks the beginning of an official State visit to Denmark at the invitation of King Frederik X and Queen Mary.

The visit reflects Vietnam's emphasis on strengthening its long-standing friendship with Denmark through enhanced cooperation across multiple sectors. The three-day itinerary is expected to feature high-level discussions between Vietnamese and Danish officials aimed at broadening bilateral engagement.

The State visit comes as Vietnam continues to expand its diplomatic presence in Europe, with Denmark representing an important partner in Northern Europe. Both nations have previously demonstrated mutual interest in fostering ties across trade, investment, culture, and people-to-people exchanges.

Details regarding specific meetings and agreements to be discussed during the visit are expected to be released following official engagements in the coming days.
