He said the province wants to boost win-win cooperation with German SMEs in promoting hi-tech industries, green economy and circular economy. 

The official asked BVMW to help with promoting investment opportunities in Nam Dinh to its member firms, for example publishing information about Nam Dinh on its official website. He invited the association's leaders to visit the province for more discussion on bilateral cooperation.
