Speaking with the state authorities, Minh said that Vietnam and Schleswig-Holstein have great potential for cooperation in industries related to maritime, shipping, shipbuilding industry, and marine research as the country has a long coastline with 34 seaports while Schleswig-Holstein is a maritime gateway to the Mediterranean.
The ambassador expressed his hope that the state will boost cooperation with Vietnam’s ministries and localities, and affirmed the embassy is willing to promote the cooperation.
Minh said he wishes that the Schleswig - Holstein State Government will continue to create favourable conditions for the Vietnamese community there to further contribute to the development of the state.
On this occasion, the Ambassador invited leaders and business delegations of the state to visit and work in Vietnam.
Schleswig Holstein State Premier Daniel Günther said that the state has a demand for skilled labour and wants the two sides to strengthen cooperation in this field.
He said that some universities in the state also want to strengthen training cooperation with foreign partners, including Vietnam. Regarding the Ambassador's invitation, Daniel Günther said he will discuss with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) and the state's business community the possibility of a visit to Vietnam in 2024 or 2025./.
