The Vietnamese delegation paid courtesy calls on Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Norbert Barthe and President of the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Birgit Hesse.

Since the establishment of the Vietnam-Germany bilateral strategic partnership in 2011, ties between the two countries’ localities have expanded across the fields of national defense-security, economy, trade, investment, science-technology and tourism.

The host side affirmed they paid attention to bolstering extensive and mutually-beneficial ties with Vietnamese localities and enterprises, especially in fields of Germany’s strength and Vietnam’s demand.

The seminar afforded both sides a chance to seek business opportunities in diverse areas, ranging from economy, trade, investment, finance, education-training, science-technology to tourism.

Representatives from overseas Vietnamese companies in Germany expressed wish to help Vietnamese localities, particularly Dak Lak, Lang Son and Yen Bai, tap opportunities to expand their presence in the German market, given that the Free Trade Agreement and Investment Protection Agreement between Vietnam and the European Union will be signed in Hanoi on June 30 and ratified in the near future.
