At the talks, both sides noted that since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1971, the friendly relationship between Vietnam and Norway has developed positively across various fields.

Minister Luong Tam Quang suggested that the two sides enhance delegation exchanges at all levels and expand cooperation in the areas where Norway has strengths and Vietnam needs. These include seaport infrastructure, renewable energy, digital transformation, science and technology, innovation, agriculture and fisheries.
