German businesses keen to invest in Viet Nam

Entrepreneurs from the German state of Sachsen-Anhalt want to do business in Viet Nam following their recent trips to the Southeast Asian country to explore investment opportunities, says Governor of the state Wolfgang Boehmer.

While receiving Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, Governor Wolfgang Boehmer spoke of similarities in the development process between the German state and Viet Nam and affirmed that the two sides have great potential for economic cooperation.

Mr Nhan, who visited Sachsen-Anhalt on May 7-8, called on the German state to promote cooperation with Viet Nam, particularly in economics, technology, tourism and vocational training.

The Vietnamese Deputy PM also met with Minister of Economic Affairs of Sachsen-Anhalt Dr Reiner Haseloff to discuss economic cooperation.

Dr Reiner Haseloff suggested future possible cooperation in such fields as mechanical engineering, tourism, education and environmental technology. He handed over to Mr Nhan a written statement on a 30,000 Euro project to train food inspectors for Viet Nam, which is part of his state’s training programme reserved for developing countries.
