The WUS Germany President has also contributed significantly to advancing the construction and development of the Vietnam-Germany University.
The diplomat hoped that Ghawami, who is also the authorised representative of the German state of Hessen for coordinating activities with Vietnam, will continue to utilise his experience and capabilities to make further contributions to Vietnam’s ties with Germany in general and with Hessen in particular. Son suggested that bilateral cooperation focus on such priority areas as education-training, energy transition, digital transformation, processing-manufacturing industry, high technology, locality-to-locality cooperation, and people-to-people exchange.
Expressing his joy and honour, Ghawami thanked the effective cooperation and assistance from the foreign ministry, many other public agencies, and friends in Vietnam.
He vowed to continue to accompany partners and friends of the two countries and make efforts to further propel forward the development of Vietnam-Germany and Vietnam-Hessen relations./.
