Receiving the German guest in Hanoi on Monday, Mr. Chinh proposed that the two sides promote cooperation in politics-diplomacy, trade-investment, climate change response, vocational training, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges, so as to bring benefits for the two peoples and increase mutual understanding.
He also proposed that Lower Saxony encourage its businesses to invest in Vietnam in high technology, digital transformation, green transformation, and climate change response, while supporting the German parliament to soon ratify the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA), and to lobby the European Commission to remove the yellow card on Vietnamese seafood.
