Over 4 decades, the Association has built strong links with German counterparts and organised a wide range of exchange activities that support mutual understanding and cooperation.
The Association currently operates a nationwide network of 34 member branches and continues to expand its engagement in emerging areas such as digital transformation, innovation, climate response, and youth exchanges.
German Ambassador to Vietnam Helga Mararete Barth praised the friendship between the two nations since 1975, citing deepening political ties and strong economic relations with two-way trade nearing €20 billion.
The Ambassador emphasised the vital role of people-to-people connection, particularly among the 200,000 Vietnamese living in Germany, and growing interest among Vietnamese youth in the German language and career opportunities.
Both sides committed to strengthening collaboration in areas of shared interest, with continued support from the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations.
