In an effort to bolster ties between Germany and Vietnam, Bodo Ramelow recently led a delegation to Da Nang, where discussions centered on enhancing collaboration across various sectors. The meetings focused on reviewing current socio-economic partnerships and identifying new avenues for cooperation, particularly in education, vocational training, investment, technology, and workforce development.
Local officials in Da Nang expressed a keen interest in nurturing relationships with German regions and institutions. They emphasized the importance of expanding partnerships in the areas of human resource development, vocational education, and German language training. Moreover, Da Nang is eager to attract more German investment into its burgeoning high-tech industries, including semiconductor production, renewable energy, the green economy, and digital transformation.
Ramelow underscored the potential of vocational education as a key area for collaboration, proposing joint training initiatives that could lead to dual-recognition qualifications in both Vietnam and Germany. He also advocated for strengthening business linkages and exploring new investment prospects, reinforcing Germany’s commitment to deepening its economic ties with Da Nang.
Germany has long been a significant European partner for Da Nang, with a history of cooperation that spans trade, technology, education, research, and cultural exchange. This visit served as a reaffirmation of both parties’ dedication to broadening their economic and institutional relationships.
