    Avoiding the sun can give osteoporosis

    Osteoporosis is as common among women in Vietnam as it is in Europe, and despite the strong sunshine, vitamin D deficiency is a serious problem. These findings were presented by the researcher Huong Nguyen in her PhD thesis that she defended at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. Thanks to Sida’s research programme, she has been able to alternate her PhD studies between the fieldwork in Hanoi and the experiments and expert-guided studies in Stockholm.

    Democracy building cooperation benefits Swedish trade with Vietnam

    The Swedish Riksdag (Parliament) has long been cooperating with the Vietnam National Assembly to develop democracy in Vietnam. This has resulted in the assembly gaining a stronger position than previously and increasing its openness to the general public. Indirectly, the project has also strengthened Sweden’s good reputation in Vietnam, benefiting areas such as trade between the two countries.
