The minister made the statement at separate meetings with Russian Ambassador to Vietnam Konstantin Vnukov and German Ambassador to Vietnam Christian Berger in Hanoi on December 21.
Vietnam considers Russia one of its reliable partners in defense and security ties. The two governments will cooperate in developing e-government and administrative reforms in the coming time.
Dung Minister Dung's recent visit to Russia, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Akimov Maxim Alekseevich pledged to support Vietnam in e-government building with a focus on cyberspace security.
The ambassador said that cooperating in e-government development is considered one of the key pillars in the bilateral relations. In early 2019, a Russian delegation will come to Vietnam to start the project, under which, building a single-window mechanism like the one currently applied in Moscow will be an important part.
Economic ties highlighted in Vietnam-Germany relations
At the meeting with German Ambassador to Vietnam Christian Berger, Minister Mai Tien Dung affirmed Vietnam’s support to Germany’s businesses investing in the country, mainly in infrastructure, renewable energy, transportation and sea ports, supporting industries, and environment.
The ambassador asked Minister Dung to clear hurdles for a number of projects being carried out by German companies.
Currently, nearly 300 German companies are operating in Vietnam, including big corporations namely Siemens, Mercedes-Benz, Bosch, B.Braun, Metro, Deutsche Bank, Bayer, and BASF.
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.
Wolfgang Manig said Germany considers Vietnam a “gate” to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and a number of German firms in China and Indonesia are seeking to join the Vietnamese market.
