Vietnam, Germany promote legislation relations
(VOV) - National Assembly (NA) Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung has affirmed that the Vietnamese NA will do at its utmost to foster bilateral relations between Vietnam and Germany to meet both peoples’ expectations.
At a reception for Edelgard Bulmahn, Vice President of the German Bundestag (parliament), in Hanoi on April 17, Hung noted the two countries have maintained high-level visit exchange, creating momentum for strengthening bilateral relations.
He said Vietnam-Germany investment cooperation remains modest and yet to match their potential. He proposed the German Bundestag encourage German businesses to invest in Vietnam, particularly in the areas of mutual concern such as energy development, medical equipment, and chemicals manufacturing.
