The Bai Bang Paper Mill, the National Children's Hospital, and the Uong Bi Hospital projects have become lasting symbols, leaving beautiful feelings in the hearts of the Vietnamese people. The people of the two countries are also connected by intellectual and cultural values; the Vietnamese people always admire Sweden with the Nobel Prize and the band ABBA.

The two sides expressed satisfaction with the positive developments in all areas, especially after the visit to Vietnam by the Princess and her husband in 2019. Accordingly, political and diplomatic relations have been continuously strengthened, including the exchange of delegations, especially at high level.

Regarding major orientations in bilateral relations in the coming time, the Prime Minister suggested that the Royal Family and the Princess herself further promote delegation exchanges and contacts at all levels, especially high-level ones; promote local cooperation and people-to-people exchanges, creating favorable conditions for expanding cooperation in other fields.

Appreciating the princess's contributions to global issues such as climate change, poverty reduction, and child care, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh shared that Vietnam is aiming to become a high-income developed country by 2045, with social security guaranteed, people well-off and happy, children healthy and fully enlightened...

It is known that the Prime Minister will participate in the Vietnam-Sweden business forum during this visit. The Princess hopes that there will be many economic, trade and investment cooperation links between the two countries in the coming time and believes that there is still a lot of potential for both sides to develop further.

The two leaders agreed that the two countries need to strengthen cultural cooperation, organize exchange events between bands of the two countries to promote each other's culture and enhance connections and people-to-people exchanges.
