Vietnamese Ambassador to Germany Nguyen Minh Vu appreciated the valuable assistance from Germany’s local authorities, organisations and businesses as well as the Vietnamese community in the European country, which demonstrates the solidarity and friendship between the two countries, especially during the current difficult times.

When the pandemic worsened in Vietnam, the municipal authorities and hospitals quickly raised funds in support of Vietnam’s fight against the pandemic in order to express their sympathy with the Vietnamese people, as well as respond to Vietnam's valuable support for Leipzig in particular and Germany in general in this fight last year.
Doctors as well as the city's authorities are discussing the next support measures for Vietnam, she added./.
