The Vietnam-Germany government talks on development cooperation took place from November 7-9 in Bonn (Germany), focusing on cooperation in areas of special interest to both sides or to maintain global common resources. State Secretary of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development Jochen Flasbarth opened and chaired the talks.

In the future, Vietnam and Germany agreed to focus on areas of cooperation such as forest protection, energy and vocational training. The German government will provide 61 million euros for these areas over the next two years.

The German side particularly emphasized the leading role and efforts of the Vietnamese side in realizing international agendas and goals such as climate goals and the global development agenda.

In addition to technical discussions on future priorities, the two sides also exchanged views on current political issues and international crises as well as the framework conditions for cooperation with Vietnam. The German delegation stressed the desire to promote and achieve success in the already implemented partnership for a just energy transition. It is important that the legal framework conditions related to the provision of financial support be improved.
