President Sang said he is impressed by Berlin’s modern public transportation system and its green, clean environment. He suggested Berlin share its experience with and support Vietnam in this field. During his visit, Mr. Sang also met with the German parliament’s Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group with ASEAN.
Hailing the group’s active support of relations between Germany and ASEAN, Sang said the group is an important bridge fostering ties between the law making bodies of Germany and ASEAN countries. The German parliamentarians said they support closer legislative ties and more exchanges between the two countries.
They said they back Vietnam and ASEAN in resolving East Sea disputes through peaceful measures on the basis of international law, especially the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
