Berlin (VNA) – The Vietnam trade mission in Germany coordinated with the Berlin – Brandenburg automotive association (aBB) and authorities of the Vietnamese province of Nam Dinh to hold a roundtable on cooperation in the automobile industry.
As Germany is a leader in the automobile industry, the trade mission has set itself a task to promote Vietnam-Germany cooperation in this sector.
Michael Bose from aBB said the association, which represents more than 340 enterprises, is implementing the BeCAN 2.0 (Berlin cooperation automotive Network BeCAN2.0). This is an international network project funded by the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises of the State of Berlin, which Vietnam has also joined.
According to Bose, German enterprises have growing interest in the Vietnamese market, and the association will arrange a business delegation to visit Vietnam to seek cooperation opportunities.
Chairman of the People’s Committee of Nam Dinh Pham Dinh Nghi introduced the province’s advantages and potential, and called on German interprises and investors to study opportunities in the province in the fields of hi-tech agriculture, automobile assembly, part production and electronics.
Commercial Counsellor Dang Thi Thanh Phuong from the Vietnam trade mission pledged to assist in connecting enterprises from the two sides for fruitful cooperation.
Representatives from the sides engaged in discussion about their respective needs and capacities with a view to reach specific cooperation plans in the future./.
