HÀ NỘI — Vice Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Nguyễn Đức Hải on Thursday received Minister-President of State of Hesse of Germany Boris Rhein, who is on a working visit to Việt Nam.

Hai emphasised that Rhein's visit is of significance as the two countries will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations in 2025.

Over the past nearly 50 years, the relations have continuously developed and expanded in various fields, including politics-diplomacy, trade-investment, education-training-labor, science-technology, and security-defence.

Highlighting Hesse's role as a leading economic hub in Germany and Europe, Hải stated that within the overall positive Việt Nam-Germany ties, the relationship between Việt Nam and Hesse has been growing across all sectors, especially in economy, education, training, and people-to-people exchange, with the bilateral trade turnover reaching about US$1 billion per year.

The cooperation between Việt Nam and Hesse is on a strong upward trajectory, clearly evidenced by the presence of many Hesse enterprises in Việt Nam and vice versa.

Particularly, in educational cooperation, the Vietnamese-German University in HCM City, established with the initiative of Hesse, has become a centre of high-quality education.

Moreover, Hesse has continued to participate in the project to build, develop, and expand the university, and provided scholarships for Vietnamese students and researchers.

Regarding parliamentary cooperation, Hải said he hoped that the legislative bodies of the two countries will cooperate more closely through dialogue mechanisms and policy exchanges at various levels, thus enhancing mutual understanding and trust, as well as fostering friendship between the two peoples and cooperation between the parliamentary groups of the two countries.

For his part, Rhein praised the socio-economic achievements Việt Nam has made in recent years.

He emphasised that Việt Nam and Germany still have great potential for cooperation, especially in the field of education and training. He noted that Hesse's authorities consider the Vietnamese-German University project a top priority and will continue to coordinate with Việt Nam to promote the university's growth.

The two sides agreed to closely coordinate in implementing activities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Việt Nam-Germany diplomatic relations (September 23, 1975 - 2025). — VNS
