According to Wolfgang Manig, deputy German ambassador in Hanoi, up to 75% of Germany’s businesses want to expand investment in Vietnam. 

Germany is Vietnam’s most important partner in the European Union (EU), receiving one third of Vietnamese exports to the EU annually. Vietnam’s main staples to Germany include mobile phones and electronic devices, garment and textile products, shoes, coffee, and seafood while the imports from Germany are machines and spare parts, medicine, and chemicals.
