Norwegian Ambassador to Vietnam, H.E. Stein Iversen, spoke with Nhu Quynh during the Nordic Business Summit 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on October 29, where business leaders and policymakers discussed opportunities to strengthen economic cooperation between Vietnam and the Nordic countries, particularly following the signing of the Vietnam-EFTA Free Trade Agreement.
