The Ambassador proudly introduces Vietnam's land, people, historical relics, traditions, attractive tourist destinations, cultural beauty, art, and cuisine to young Danish people, drawing on his personal experiences as someone who has been involved in journalism, media, and community work for many years and has visited many regions of Vietnam.

According to the Vietnamese diplomat, young Danish people should take advantage of their youth to visit and discover about Vietnam, as every destination here has its own, distinct beauty that makes a lasting impression.

As a person who has lived and worked in Vietnam for over 15 years, President of DAVIFO Trine Glue Doan introduced DAVIFO's activities to promote exchange and understanding between people and young generations in both countries, as well as to share her personal experiences and affection for Vietnam and its people.

Trine Glue Doan said that Vietnam is beautiful, its citizens are friendly, gentle, and hospitable, and the Vietnamese culture is diverse and vibrant. In addition, Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing countries in the region, making it an attractive destination for businesses and international tourists.

Teachers and students from Slotshaven High School responded enthusiastically to the two main speakers' presentations, asking numerous questions and seeking valuable advice on how to have the most memorable experiences in Vietnam.

Young Danish individuals also attended the event to enjoy a picture exhibition and short films introducing and promoting Vietnam, as well as try some traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

Ambassador Luong Thanh Nghi wished the Slotshaven High School teachers and students numerous wonderful experiences during their fact-finding trip to Vietnam and expressed his delight that the young Danish generation is becoming more interested in learning about Vietnam's country, people, culture, and history. He hopes that the ties and friendship between the two countries' young generations, the future owners of Vietnam and Denmark, will continue to grow over time, acting as a bridge to tighten Vietnam's friendly and traditional relationship with Denmark.
