Delivering a speech to hundreds of students, the German President said he was impressed by Vietnam where tradition and modernity are combined together and highlighted close ties between Vietnam and Germany despite their geographical distance.
Germany will help Vietnam in many areas, including ecological transformation, infrastructure and economic restructuring, he affirmed while speaking highly of Vietnam’s important role in the region and the world.
Pointing out difficulties and challenges facing the two countries amidst global uncertainties, the leader noted his belief that Germany and Vietnam will continue observing and respecting international law, and multilateralising and diversifying friendly and cooperative relations, which, he said, would help them overcome difficulties.
