Arctic security is becoming more as an issue.

Greenland is NATO territory.

What should happen to Greenland?

It's up to the Greenlanders to decide.

What we will defend at any time is their right to determine their own future.

You can't really get mad at anyone in Vietnam because people are too nice.

A country, a people that has gone through a lot of suffering.

But it's the complete opposite I find here.

I mean, this is, Vietnamese people are very open.

They're very friendly.

Vietnam is a little bit you know as I stated before being a victim to its own success an economy

that grows like six seven eight percent a year

and in the future you'd like to grow double digit things become more expensive here eventually

you might end up being trapped in what you call the middle income trap

this is what Vietnam needs to try to escape.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Vietnam Innovators Digest I'm your host Tù Âng.

Today we are honored to welcome

His Excellency Mr. Nikolai Britz, Ambassador of Denmark to Vietnam.

Denmark and Vietnam have built a friendship spanning more than five decades since diplomatic relations were established in 1971,

a relationship that has grown from traditional development cooperation into a modern, mutually beneficial partnership.

In recent years, that partnership has taken on even greater global relevance,

especially with Denmark and Vietnam launching a green strategic partnership to accelerate cooperation on climate action,

green growth, and sustainable investment.

And we are seeing real momentum on the ground.

Danish investment in Vietnam has surpassed $2 billion dollars,

and Danish companies are expanding in ways that connect directly to Vietnam's green ambitions.

So today, Mr. Ambassador, it's my privilege to have you here on the show.

No, thanks.

Thank you very much for having me.

It's a pleasure.

So Greenland is getting a lot of global attention again because the audit is becoming more strategically important.

So how does Denmark think about Arctic security in a way that supports stability while respecting Greenland's self -government and local priorities?

I think that

Arctic security is becoming more as an issue.

I'm not sure it is as it is now, but there is certainly a perspective of becoming,

let's say, more of a high -tension area in geopolitical terms, which is something we should take very serious.

And this is also why Denmark is completely aligned with our NATO allies, including the United States, that we want to invest in that.

Now, Greenland is NATO territory, so that's something we are discussing, we have with other NATO countries,

including the United States, about how we can enhance security in that region.

So we take it very seriously.

There's also, and I guess this is what you're alluding to, there's been the last discussions about what should happen to Greenland.

It's very simple.

It's up to the Greenlanders to decide.

We're not holding on to anything here, right?

What we will defend at any time is their right to determine their own future.

So that's what we have to say about that.

There are, as you have also read from the international press, there will be a high -level working group that will be discussing these issues.

And this is what we're waiting for the outcome of.

So Vietnam has been actively reforming its public administration system to improve transparency,

efficiency, and public service delivery.

So from your longstanding experience working in Vietnam, how do you access that progress so far?

No, I mean, listen, I think we've all been impressed by the level of ambition when it comes to these reforms,

public sector reform on the back of

that you had private sector reform uh you're having the innovation technology

and innovation law and enforcement etc etc internet internationalization and

so on listen this is extremely important i would like to say

i would like to commend vietnam for embarking on this now

because i think it's going to be really really important

i think it's also going to be to be very honest honest extremely necessary vietnam is i mean

there's no question that vietnam has uh has been on a fantastic journey

when you look over the last few decades uh

you know very you know steady growth lifting millions of vietnamese literally uh out of poverty

so i mean a lot of things is going vietnam's way

but you're also reaching a point where you are uh

you are you are running to some more

i would say structural challenges uh demography being one at some point Vietnam is going to have an elderly population, meaning

that.. fewer people proportionally would be in the productive sector and

that would go that would go pretty fast

so in in in other words you're going to have less people providing for more people

that is a challenge there's nothing odd about that

that happens in all countries at some point only

that in vietnam in europe it's happening a long time ago yeah

and the answer to that is obviously productivity you need to enhance productivity

and this is why these reforms are coming about also so

that is that is the i'm also i'm not surprised either

because i mean that is the beauty about demography you can see

that what will happen in the future pretty much

and this is also why you need to you need to reform your way out of it it's also important

because vietnam to some extent i mean apart from the demography

that vietnam is a little bit

you know as i stated before being a victim to its own success an economy

that grows like six seven eight percent a year

and in the future you'd like to grow double digit at some point things become more expensive here

you're going to have countries around vietnam it's getting expensive every single year i feel like it is it is

but but you have to look it from

and from a foreign investor point of view also

they will always say it's not a given thing

they need to invest in vietnam they will always look at their options could there be countries

that are more interesting because let's say labor costs are cheaper there

that could be the case this is why i'm saying

this thing about making you know reforming private sector reform public sector reform

i think it's immensely important for vietnam to be able to continue to be attractive as a destination for fgi

because if not eventually you might end up being trapped in what you call the middle income trap

which is uh you probably heard about it

and this is what what vietnam needs to try to escape right

you just built you beautifully reminded me of i just did

a little bit more in -depth of a research about surprisingly

now the middle age medium age in vietnam now is 34 it used to be 30 29 30

and now it's 34 yeah so it's only going up yeah yeah okay

100

so it's about the trade investment relationship between denmark and vietnam yeah

101

and and you recently recognized with the Nordic Leadership Awards for these efforts.

102

So could you share some of the key initiatives or strategies your team has used to boost

103

Danish Vietnamese trade and investment and how they contribute to a more sustainable and innovative economic partnership?

104

Yeah.

105

Well, again, thanks for highlighting my role in it.

106

But to be honest, this goes way back.

107

As I said, this all started really way back in the years

108

when we gave official development aid

109

because as i said i mean back back in in those days

110

we also made some financing for companies to de -risk them

111

so they could come in at an early stage

112

so that's where it all started really uh what we are doing at the embassy

113

and our office here in ho chi ming city i mean

114

we are obviously following what's going on in vietnam

115

it's a very dynamic market well our role is also to

116

see you know what we see we don't just sit on

117

that information we actually communicated back home to copenhagen

118

and other parts of denmark so we have colleagues

119

that more you know several times a year would travel back

120

and actually meet to danish companies and business associations to display these opportunities for them

121

so they know about them many of them will come out here

122

and explore it for themselves so we're really trying to be alert

123

and see what's going on in vietnam i think it's also

124

we come from a country where yeah you have the very big companies

125

that you have heard about them like lego and pandora

126

and maersk and so on and over nordisk

127

that have the capacity to look out in the world

128

and you really have this filter to find out you know where the opportunities are

129

but but there are many companies that don't have

130

that capacity to look

131

that far away they might have a tendency to look more

132

on the near markets more on the more traditional markets now it's also important for us to communicate opportunities to them

133

so they have a chance to see what's going on in vietnam

134

and then we will help them sort of pursue

135

it by receiving them here we would make meeting programs we'll try to find partners for them

136

and we would even do promotional work i mean

137

we had like getting back to the visit

138

we have our crown friends couple in 22 they were accompanied with i think it was like 36 companies

139

that came out focusing on renewables and energy efficiency

140

so you know we use these opportunities where we can see

141

something to try to let's say get them here to vietnam and and get a first -hand impression

142

and so on so that's really important for us we also like to try to help danish companies

143

that are already here to enhance their presence

144

sometimes a context with authorities in vietnam just goes through the embassy that's like the natural pathway

145

so to the extent that we can help them

146

that way around we're also at their disposal so i think we have just let's say the interest of Danish

147

companies danish economic interests we have it very much on our radar screen

148

we have a very close dialogue with the danish businesses

149

and business associations so we can always uh you know tell them about

150

or inform them about opportunities in vietnam i didn't know that

151

that was just in 2022

152

that was just like 36 companies coming out already sorry

153

it's not going to be on no no no they they they didn't come out

154

but they came out with a delegation as part of the

155

visit to look at vietnam some of them were already here

156

they used it they they used the opportunity to sign business deals

157

I think we had something like 14 business deals being signed on that occasion.

158

So, you know, a lot of things goes on.

159

We've been talking about Vietnam's economic growth story, and it's been remarkable.

160

So, but then I feel like the global landscape has changed rapidly.

161

Yeah.

162

And then how do you see the sustainability of Vietnam's current growth model?

163

And in your opinion, what are the key drivers that will help Vietnam maintain its momentum?

164

and then enhance its global competitiveness in the upcoming years?

165

Yeah, big question.

166

I agree, as I said earlier.

167

I mean, I think it is unquestionable that the growth model has proven to be very, very good for Vietnam, brought about,

168

you know, massively impressive results.

169

It has shown to be robust also.

170

I mean, you have been quite a few, quite a bit of turbulence, and it is shown to be robust also.

171

But as I also said, you are running into some structural issues where you would need to upgrade your economy to some extent.

172

Now, there's a lot of talk about the next thing Vietnam used to do was just climb the ladder.

173

And now you've got to be, you know, a big part of the semiconductor industry and so on.

174

Two, you need to climb up there also.

175

But what I would like to highlight is still the manufacturing part of it, because it's not like manufacturing is going away tomorrow in Vietnam.

176

I think there's ample room to upgrade manufacturing also.

177

So a lot of the things, I mean, is being done relatively manually in Vietnam still.

178

You are still at the very low, let's say, part of the supply chain there.

179

There's ample room in many manufacturing companies to do a lot of, let's say, upgrading.

180

You know, you can automatize, you can digitalize and so on.

181

So there's really ample room to sort of upgrade the manufacturings that are already here.

182

And you can gain a lot from that, become a lot more competitive.

183

That being said, you also need to attract, obviously, new kinds of investment.

184

I just mentioned semiconductors.

185

I know some is already being done here, packaging and so on.

186

But Vietnam would probably have the ambition to try to be more, let's say, into the more sophisticated part of that production also by design,

187

innovation, et cetera, et cetera.

188

You would need to come to the latter.

189

That's going to require a lot of things, investment in skilling of labor, upskilling of labor.

190

You would need also to invest more in infrastructure, that's for sure one thing

191

i would like to highlight where i think vietnam still has

192

probably a bit of homework to do would be on renewable energy

193

because we have talked about a little bit that

194

that it's it's hugely important that sufficient energy in vietnam to support the growth

195

but where we're also seeing at least the the few years i've only had for three

196

and a half years the time i've been here and

197

when i've spoken to danish companies

198

they inquire about okay what is the cost of labor

199

you know what's the tax system like what is the business conditions like you know

200

and once they ticks all these boxes off you know they they now also ask

201

and what about access to renewable energy and that's interesting but

202

if you think it through it makes a lot of sense

203

because many of them they come to Vietnam they produce here

204

but then they export and they export to the European market

205

and other markets

206

and you just see a growing demand there of companies

207

they they're being met with requirements they need to effectively be able to document

208

that they have a zero carbon neutral footprint

209

and energy means a lot there so i'm just saying

210

that energy renewable energy it's not just about having sufficient energy it's about having renewable energy i think that's really

211

if the way i see it one of the more decisive parameters

212

and i think it will play a larger

213

and larger role going forward in investors decisions whether they come to vietnam

214

or not i think it's going to be a key role moving forward.

215

It will.

216

I have no doubt.

217

I've been sitting in on meetings with the Vietnam Business Forum, EuroChamp, NordChamp.

218

This is one of the things I always highlight on these meetings in their reports,

219

you know, where they really would like to see even more action from the government.

220

Lots of, you know, initiatives have been taken.

221

You have the PDV -8 that is sort of dictating what way Vietnam should move,

222

but you've got to see more in the implementation part of it,

223

i guess for it to to become real from your point of view is it still manufacturing or do you think

224

areas like digital innovation green energy or any other sector

225

that may become the next growth engine for vietnam i think that's hard to say

226

because as i said manufacturing

227

it's just like a lot of people talk about you know basic manufacturing you know on the factory floor you know

228

we should move on from that i don't see it happening

229

because there are still

230

so many gains to be had in terms of productivity

231

i mean i've seen factories where you had like you know maybe six seven people working

232

you know manually the next time i come around there's a machine doing

233

that for them there'll only be one person you know

234

so i'm just saying

235

that there's a lot of there's still a lot of productivity gains to be had in traditional manufacturing

236

so i i think that's going to be a very big part still of what vietnam

237

you build up very good manufacturing make capabilities that should be explored fully through increasing productivity optimization

238

digitalization and so on so that's one thing uh

239

but obviously as i said you should also try to attract

240

and i don't know great things are being done great efforts are being done to

241

that end to attract more sophisticated kind of you know technology investments in the semiconductor industry etc etc

242

that's obviously also something that should be explored it will require an investment

243

because you can't just they're not just going to get here

244

then you know you need to invest up against something

245

so you also need to upskill people

246

that can actually uh let's say implement those investments also

247

so i wouldn't just point to one thing

248

you did mention also in your question i thought

249

it's a green did you say green renewable energy yeah vietnam can play undoubtedly a huge role

250

there uh i think uh let me get back to the offshore sector

251

because again that is one sector that has still not taken off

252

but which will take off at least

253

if you look in the PDB -8

254

it will give Vietnam an abundance of energy without a doubt

255

it will also put Vietnam in a position where you might be able to export energy

256

and I think that is very very interesting that's gonna be amazing one more thing

257

when you talk about also energy I've actually followed this quite a bit is

258

that because the components involved in these things are

259

so big a lot of it needs to be manufactured in Vietnam

260

so this is not just about a creating a let's say another source of energy

261

it's also about building creating more jobs too

262

and you know a new sector around this right

263

that could serve as a hub not just for let's say the sector in vietnam

264

but really in in the rest of asia also this is already happening you have danish manufacturers

265

and danish developers that are already sourcing big time from vietnam

266

so it's already happening you have a very sophisticated industrial base

267

when it comes to it but it can't enhanced even further

268

so again there are so many gains today to to be had from this

269

so that that's something i could see take off and and become even a bigger part of the economy

270

so energy security is becoming a growing concern for vietnam

271

and especially as economy expanding and then energy demand increases

272

so what steps do you believe Vietnam should prioritize to ensure it has a reliable

273

and sustainable energy supply to support its future growth?

274

Yeah, you're talking about supply, you're talking about security.

275

I mean, this is really an interesting question.

276

You can look at security from different aspects.

277

One would be just to make sure you have enough energy.

278

That's one way of looking at it.

279

Obviously, an economy that grows with 8 % this or last year and double digit, that's going to require a lot more energy.

280

So, you know, the supply side would need to pick up significantly, that's for sure.

281

You can also look at energy security from the standpoint of, do you want to import it or do you want to produce it yourself?

282

I personally think, you know, Vietnam is in a position now where you import a very big part of your energy that you consume.

283

I just can't help thinking because I've seen these studies

284

that you have the capacity to produce everything locally

285

if you go renewable if you do more on the solar side

286

and the wind side and so on you can become self -sufficient

287

and that's also about security

288

because would you want to be dependent on importing energy there can be problems related to

289

that in terms of supply but also fluctuating prices

290

which will have an impact also on the economy and

291

so on now all this can be you can internalize all this by going renewable

292

so that's something that i that

293

and i guess this is why it's such a big theme in the pdb8 also

294

that the government of vietnam really

295

you know wants to become more let's say independent uh you know just the only thing

296

that can really stop renewables in vietnam in the long term is

297

if the sun starts shining or the wind stops blowing i don't really foresee

298

that happening anytime soon so but really no i'm serious here this is

299

so important that you what by domesticating all

300

that you know you become

301

you're going to gain a lot of independence from from you're

302

not going to be subject to you know suppliers some of them might come from trigger part of the region

303

and so on another aspect is also i mean

304

when you do energy today i mean there's so much uh digitalization the water net.

305

Just like you want to have a safe banking system, you want to have a safe system when it comes to e -government and so on,

306

you also have to have a very safe system when it comes to energy.

307

Things can be hacked.

308

You can be subject to cyber attacks.

309

So you really got to look into also who you're dealing with when you build up.

310

It doesn't matter if it's solar or if it's wind

311

or what you're doing when you have these big infrastructure you've really got to look at who you're partnering up with also,

312

I think that's a really important point also you mentioned it yourself in your question

313

that cyber security is a huge issue and that also goes for the energy sector wow you look spooked yeah,

314

I know also again I spent I guess a lot of time online looking at,

315

watching all the documentary and there was like a huge problem between the US and Canada when Canada

316

if it's like a electrical grid or something between the US and Canada

317

if there's shutdown it's going to be the whole east side

318

of America will be out of power for four days

319

if not month so this is my point

320

if you can internalize all this yeah

321

if you can all the energy sources you need

322

that could be inside of Vietnam you're not gonna depend on anyone yeah

323

and who knows I mean a lot stuff can happen

324

you could become i don't know vietnam is a peaceful country

325

but a lot of stuff can happen in this world

326

it could it be something physical

327

it could be something in terms of a cyber attack it can also just be fluctuating prices of coal

328

and oil and so on that's coming from i don't know where

329

but uh you know it just makes you vulnerable

330

and you are in a position where you can you can do it very differently

331

i know it's going to mean you're going to do you're

332

You're going to have to do a huge upfront investment in grids and so on.

333

Not even in any generation, because a lot of these companies that comes, solar and wind and so on, I mean, they have capital with them.

334

I mean, so it's not like it's not doable.

335

It's absolutely doable.

336

And I think something to keep in mind also is that the more you do, the cheaper it gets.

337

Because let's go back to offshore again.

338

I mean, in a mature market like Denmark, for example, this is the cheapest source of energy

339

because we have mature market we have we have energy

340

we have economy of scale this is also what would happen it might be the first practice in vietnam

341

which will be okay more expensive

342

but you know eventually as you start exploring uh the huge potential here it's going to get cheaper

343

so so it you know even from economic point of view it just makes sense

344

so when comparing vietnam with other asian asian countries like china or thailand

345

In your view, what makes Vietnam particularly attractive to foreign investors?

346

And are there any unique advantages or characteristics that truly set Vietnam apart in the region?

347

I wouldn't make a direct comparison with Thailand and China

348

because I don't claim to be an expert on any of these countries.

349

I have lived in China, but that's a while ago.

350

I left it in 18.

351

And so it probably wouldn't be fair to compare it in

352

that sense and Thailand I haven't dipped there so

353

that would certainly be unfair but I can't see things about Vietnam

354

that I find very compelling to start on something the new

355

the more normative part of it you have you have a free trade agreement with the European Union

356

this is a huge advantage I mean you can you can produce here

357

and for zero tariffs they can go into Europe

358

so this is obviously a very huge advantage of producing in vietnam

359

now other countries are going to catch up europe is into

360

diversification these days just like vietnam has been for a while

361

so we are currently negotiating free trade agreements in the european union with thailand indonesia and other countries but for now

362

in this part of the world or this this in southeast asia is only vietnam and it's singapore

363

which is not a real competitor to you anyway that is having free trade agreements with the european Union.

364

So that is a huge advantage that you can get things in for zero terrorists for now.

365

But eventually you will have competitors that can do the same, as I was pointing out.

366

Another advantage is, I think, about Vietnam, is your geographical location next to China.

367

As you know, much of the manufacturing that is being done here is really based on imports of components from China. So

368

so it makes it puts Vietnam in a very good position also

369

then I would also point to I mean something

370

that I've seen here in in Vietnam the three

371

and a half years I've been here people are very you're very entrepreneurial

372

you work a lot you want to progress in life you know this is not such a bad thing

373

if you have a company that you want to grow

374

and you you really want you know to have colleagues Vietnamese colleagues with those characteristics

375

so I think that's something that that really plays in vietnam's favor also you are generally speaking uh

376

population people that just wants to move ahead and

377

and i think that's that's that's something to keep in mind you can say it's a soft element

378

but i really think it's something that's that's worth mentioning rather than just a free trade agreement

379

or something more let's say normative right but

380

but this is something i think this is really an asset in vietnam

381

that i know danish companies are very happy about um so you've been here for three and a half years yeah

382

What are some other traits that you see in the Vietnamese people, besides we are entrepreneurial, we...

383

I'm not saying this because you're Vietnamese and I want to please you, right?

384

Please be honest.

385

No, but to be honest, I mean, when you come to Vietnam, the first thing you do, even before you get here,

386

if you are, you know, you start reading quite a bit about the country

387

and it's not to rip up in the past

388

but i mean you have a quite a past a country a people

389

that has gone through a lot of suffering

390

and you could expect you wouldn't be surprised if you didn't otherwise

391

if people were a little bit more let's say inward looking

392

and skeptical towards what you know foreigners and so on

393

but it's the complete opposite i find here i mean

394

this is vietnamese people are very open

395

they're very friendly as i say to my friends back home

396

you you can't really get mad at anyone in Vietnam

397

because people are too nice you know I know

398

this might maybe not be a very appropriate comment to come with it's not

399

that I don't get mad that easy anyway so

400

but anyway I think it's a wonderful population it really is I understand people

401

that falls in love of Vietnam it is

402

because it's beautiful country you have a great cuisine but

403

if I had to point to one thing

404

it would be the people don't start crying I just

405

I really like the answer i think it's really touching

406

then thank you thank you for no you're welcome it's i'm not saying

407

because you're sitting in front of me this this is really genuine i mean uh

408

so yeah so

409

if you have just one minute to speak directly to international

410

business leaders who are considering expanding to vietnam what would your key message be

411

and why should they choose vietnam now yeah good question i mean one thing i would say

412

because i mean i guess investors they know normally they just dive into numbers

413

and see okay how's it going uh

414

and it's obviously going very well i would i would still say okay that's fine

415

but they are also as i pointed out vietnam is at

416

a in a point in time where you need to reform i would also watch

417

that part of it i would be i would be optimistic

418

but i would be cautiously optimistic but it's true 2025 have

419

if anything in vietnam been

420

that been let's say the year of reforms they've been launched uh

421

they have started we've seen the political reform uh

422

you've seen the murder of ministries you have seen the murder of provinces

423

you have seen the level district the district level disappear etc a lot of things is going on uh

424

but you need to see full implementation

425

we need to see much more in the private sector reform uh the the the digital

426

and innovation uh technology and technology reform there are things we need to see

427

so how is this going to turn out you know the devil's in the detail

428

or the devil's in the implementation of it we need to see

429

that right so i think it's good that it's happening

430

but and and i really speak from denmark

431

because we have we have been through very big reform processes ourselves it goes some years back

432

but it's really really important that

433

that you are you know follow through an implementation of it

434

if not you're not going to reap the benefits fully of it right

435

so i would really do

436

that as a company i mean i would be optimistic about what i see

437

but don't look too much towards the past also see what is happening now what way is vietnam going

438

so i would be optimistic about it but but of course it's optimistic

439

because we would need to see you know more on the implementation side of it one one aspect of reform

440

we have done in denmark that i think we also see vietnam is embarking now and i think it's gonna

441

bring about a lot of benefits it is digitalization of the public sector

442

we have done that in denmark denmark is today the most uh digitalized government

443

so i'm talking about digitalization of you know our services towards as citizens but also towards companies

444

now the benefit of that is that it's going to be

445

so much more efficient imagine

446

if you don't have to go down to a public building to file something

447

and line up and so on you can do everything basically from your office

448

or your sofa where you're sitting

449

so that's going to give a lot of benefits it's also uh

450

and and and i allow myself to say it uh

451

that it's also when you start digitalizing things it is the most effective way of combating corruption

452

And it's a recognized problem in Vietnam that corruption is pretty inherent in many of these things.

453

So by going digital, you can really do something if you want to combat corruption.

454

So I think that's one of the other very, very, very big benefits of this.

455

So digitalization, that's going to bring about a lot of good things.

456

But most of all, let's say, better productivity, a better youth experience also for the ones involved.

457

So, yeah, we have very good experiences with that.

458

when you first arrived to vietnam what surprised you the most

459

ah i don't know um i think i'm gonna go back

460

and it's really not to impress you again

461

but i think it's the kindness of the people uh extremely friendly people that's the thing you don't know

462

when you come to a new place i mean you can have an impression about okay what kind of cuisine is it.

463

I mean, you have Vietnamese restaurants today all over the world.

464

I'd had a bang mi way before I came here.

465

I had fur way before I came here, right?

466

You can see beautiful pictures and you can get an idea about, wow, this is beautiful.

467

This is what it's like.

468

I'm really looking forward to it.

469

But what you can't really get a notion of is what are the people like?

470

And when you start feeling that, I mean, that is such an asset you have in Vietnam, you know, the nice people.

471

So I think that was a part that surprised me the most not

472

that i expected anything different but i just didn't know it so uh

473

so i was just you know

474

i was just positively a very positive impression from the very outset did the traffic surprise

475

you at all not really because that i've heard about

476

and i have lived in places where traffic is worse

477

i used to live in shanghai i've used to live in sao paulo in brazil

478

this is really nothing to be honest compared with

479

that no it's I'm joking here but

480

but yeah it's it's heavy uh it's heavy in Hanoi uh especially around rush hour

481

but but it's doable I mean it's doable is there a specific moment

482

or a specific interaction that happened here in Vietnam

483

that just created a special memory a special bond between you and this country

484

professionally I think a moment that I found very that

485

that sort of left a very deep impression was was the visit of our crime prince couple

486

you can say a lot of things about these very formal visits

487

but it has something I mean it's something that

488

so you know it can sound simple

489

but it really underlines the closeness the substance of the relations between two countries

490

and that's just something that became so evident during

491

that visit how close we were together business -wise you know even just governments

492

and so on I mean it was it was just very tense

493

and it was such a good experience to say wow this is where we are with Vietnam.

494

I mean, this is so amazing.

495

It might sound simple that, you know, it's a visit, but I think it's one of these times where you just really,

496

it's a touch point where you can really see, okay, this is where we are.

497

I think that's something that has profoundly caused an impression.

498

When it comes to my personal life here, I mean, so many touch points.

499

I mean, places I've visited, I've had a chance to travel a lot around Vietnam And I don't know,

500

it's just such a big experience every time to get to know a new part of Vietnam.

501

So it's hard to point to one thing that say, wow, this was the most interesting experience I had.

502

I mean, I think I've been fortunate to have many of them.

503

Thank you so much, Mr. Ambassador, for coming to the show.

504

More than anything, I am looking forward for the growth of relationship between Denmark and Vietnam in upcoming years.

505

Thank you so much for coming to the show thank you and thank you for having me it's been a pleasure

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
“Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più vero	used to be · used to do · used to live

Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	has gone · have built · has grown
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	being trapped · are honored · were established

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione

Chi parla usa 109 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come you're, don't, I'm. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

I suoni “sh” e “zh”: danish /ˈdeɪ.nɪʃ/, impression /ɪmˈpɹɛʃn̩/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, implementation /ˌɪmplɪmənˈteɪʃən/, partnership /ˈpɑɹtnɚʃɪp/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
