HA NOI —
Viet Nam has always considered Germany an important partner and
appreciates the support given by the country to Vietnamese people
in the past years, said Nguyen Van An, chairman of the National
Assembly, on Tuesday.
An made the
statement while meeting the German Parliament delegation led by
Susane Kaster, Deputy Speaker of the German Parliament and
President of the Federal Association of German Tourism Industry.
Hundreds of
Vietnamese have been trained or have worked in Germany, and the
visit by the delegation would contribute to furthering relations
and co-operation between the two countries, An said.
Germany is
the largest business partner of Viet Nam among the European Union
nations, contributing nearly 30 per cent of the total
import-export revenue between EU and Viet Nam, he said, adding
that there is scope for improving German investments in Viet Nam.
The
parliaments of the two countries should boost co-operation and
share mutual experience of legislation and supervision.
Promising to
maintain regular exchanges, Kaster agreed further co-operation in
various fields.
During their
visit, the German delegation will inspect a German-funded project
and visit a resettlement area for war victims in the central
province of Thua Thien-Hue. — VNS
