The two sides agreed that there remains large room to develop bilateral cooperation between Vietnam and Germany, especially in the economic field.

They emphasised the importance of strengthening the exchange of all-level delegations, including business delegations, in order to bring information about the potential of Vietnam and Vietnamese businesses closer to partners in Germany and Europe in general.

Scheuer affirmed that the executive board of the programme wishes to further promote the Germany-Vietnam cooperation in economy, trade, investment, labour, cultural exchange, knowledge and technology transfer, and infrastructure, including transport infrastructure.

He expressed his impression on the rapid development and the young, enthusiastic and talented workforce of Vietnam, saying that he is willing to act as a bridge to promote a labour cooperation framework and considers Vietnam an important partner in the Young Leaders programme to be launched by the Asian bridge initiative programme.
