Sweden has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Vietnam’s green and digital transition through innovation, sustainable infrastructure, and technology cooperation.
During a recent visit to Hanoi, State Secretary Sara Modig of Sweden’s Ministry of Climate and Enterprise met with Vietnamese officials to discuss cooperation on the North–South high-speed railway and greener seaports, according to VOV World.
“Swedish companies such as ABB, Atlas Copco, Ericsson, Volvo, SKF, and many others are already contributing to Vietnam’s industrial modernization and port infrastructure. And I think, by building these partnerships together, we can help Vietnam develop a low-carbon, digitally connected, globally competitive transport system that can support the green transition,” says Sara Modig.
She added that Swedish companies view Vietnam as a long-term partner in sustainability and innovation. “Your skilled workforce and expanding industrial base make it a dynamic environment for green and high-tech investments,” she said.
Sweden and Vietnam have worked closely in recent years on green innovation and sustainable development, with Sweden ready to share its expertise and support Vietnam’s climate goals.
