At the meetings, local authorities and Bremen firms highly valued the potential for economic cooperation between Vietnam and Germany, particularly in trade, high-technology, renewable energy, ports and vocational training.

Gunthner said a visit to Vietnam by 30 local firms last November was successful, adding that the locality plans to further develop its economic ties with Vietnam.

Bremen plans to open a representative office in Vietnam while the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry will coordinate with the Vietnamese Embassy to organize a conference on economic cooperation with the Southeast Asian country in May 2017.

Local authorities and business leaders pledged to send delegations to Vietnam to look for opportunities and beef up trade links.

Covering an area of 404km2 with a population of 644,000 people, Bremen is the smallest of Germany’s 16 states. Consisting of the two cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven, Bremen is home to a large number of companies specialized in high-technology, energy, aviation, automobiles and marine transportation.
