Vestas is very excited for the partnership with Vietnam in this respect and today, we are absolutely delighted to be here to demonstrate our commitment. Vestas is Denmark's leading light in the renewable energy sector and will show Vietnam how to appreciate the value, opportunities, and potential of wind energy to improve the lives of Vietnamese people.”

“We will engage, expand, and deepen our capabilities in Vietnam and look forward to working even more closely together," he added.
