Chairman of the National Assembly Vuong Dinh Hue and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Hanoi on January 23, 2024.

Mr. Hue proposed President Steinmeier back the two sides in enhancing their parliamentary collaboration, coordinating in organising activities marking the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations next year, and promoting close cooperation and mutual support at multilateral forums.

He asked the President to continue supporting and encouraging German companies to invest and operate in Vietnam, especially in heavy industry, energy, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and transport infrastructure.

Chairman Hue said he hopes that Germany would help Vietnam access green financial sources to cope with climate change, develop a green and sustainable economy, and implement the COP 26 commitments towards net-zero emissions by 2050. 

President Steinmeier said Germany is interested in technological cooperation with Vietnam, adding that with the goal of achieving net zero emissions, the two countries will soon collaborate in this field.
