He expressed his hope that the Vietnamese Government will continue to create favorable conditions for German investors to establish long-term and effective partnerships, serving the mutual interests and development of both sides.
For his part, Deputy PM Binh affirmed that Vietnam always treasures and wishes to further deepen its strategic partnership with Germany, including Hessen. He noted the Vietnam - Germany strategic partnership has expanded across multiple fields such as politics, economy, education, science, and technology.
The host also shared about his working visit to Hessen in March to study the state’s experience in developing international financial centers, and his attendance at the World Alliance of International Financial Centers (WAIFC) annual meeting in Frankfurt in October.
Vietnam, he said, looks forward to stronger cooperation with Hessen in developing an international financial center, as well as in labor and employment, given Germany’s growing demand for healthcare and technical workers and Vietnam’s capacity to meet it.
The Deputy PM also thanked the Hessen State Symphony Orchestra for its recent successful performances in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to mark the 50th anniversary of Vietnam - Germany diplomatic ties.
Both sides expressed satisfaction with the strong and fruitful partnership between the two countries, highlighting the Vietnamese-German University (VGU) as a flagship project in bilateral cooperation.
Given Vietnam’s plan to establish an international financial center, Germany, particularly Hessen state, has provided valuable support. The VGU has already conducted two courses in international finance and plans to offer more in the future, with students benefiting from high-quality instruction delivered by leading financial experts from Germany, including those from Hessen.
