Berlin (VNA) – Vietnam’s trade office in Germany and the Trade Promotion Agency (TPA) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) organised a trade and investment promotion forum on October 18.

The forum at the Frankfurt am Main city attracted the attendance of more than 100 Vietnamese and German enterprises.

A representative of the TPA called for German enterprises to take advantage of opportunities to expand business and investment in Vietnam and pledged to create favourable conditions for German investors.

Jurgen Ratzinger, International Director of the Frankfurt IHK, appreciated the organisation of the forum and considered it as a continuance of the relationship between Frankfurt and Vietnam.

Vietnam is considered as one of the important partners of Germany and IHK always accompanies enterprises of the two countries to boost bilateral economic and trade activities.

Udo Corts, a former minister at Hessen State, stressed the role of education and training cooperation in economic development and expected the two countries’ businesses pay more attention to highly-skilled human resources training.
Nguyen Minh Quang, Vice Chairman of the Hung Yen provincial People’s Committee, introduced the province’s advantages and called for German companies to invest in the province.

Earlier at the Vietnam Trade Office in Berlin, the TPA delegation, Hung Yen, Nghe An and Quang Binh provinces had a working session with the Trade Office and representatives of the Association of Vietnamese Enterprises in Germany.-VNA
