Acccompanied by Ann Linde, the Minister of Foreign Trade, the Crown Princess Couple will start their visit on the 6th of May in Hanoi and end on the 8th of May in Ho Chi Minh City.

The visiting programme includes attending the Sweden-Vietnam business summit and highlight the UN’s sustainability goals within Agenda 2030.
