Speaking at the awards ceremony, Danish Ambassador Nicolai Prytz affirmed that the competition had created a forum for Vietnamese students to raise awareness and express concerns about climate and environmental issues, as well as to present inspiring ideas. The competition also demonstrated the strong passion and commitment of Vietnamese youth in creating a green and sustainable future for all of us.

“Young people play a crucial role in building society and driving positive change. In Vietnam, young people have many opportunities to participate in social activities and create a positive impact. One of those opportunities is participating in the painting competition 'Denmark Through My Eyes - Green Ideas',” the Ambassador said.

The Denmark Through My Eyes contest, co-organized by the Danish Embassy and the Vietnam-Denmark Friendship Association (VIDAFA), was first held in 2016 to commemorate the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Denmark. Since then, the contest has been held annually or biennially with a new theme each year, largely focusing on the environment and green topics.

The core of the partnership between Denmark and Vietnam is green growth and green transition towards a sustainable society. Therefore, the "Denmark Through My Eyes" competition is a unique opportunity to enhance the participation of Vietnamese youth in the country's green transition. The competition also adds a valuable piece to the ongoing government-level cooperation program within the framework of the Vietnam-Denmark Green Strategic Partnership.
