Hanoi (VNA) – Vice Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Nguyen Duc Hai on November 27 received Minister-President of State of Hesse of Germany Boris Rhein, who is on a working visit to Vietnam.
Hai emphasised that Rhein's visit is of significance as the two countries will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations in 2025.
Over the past nearly 50 years, the relations have continuously developed and expanded in various fields, including politics-diplomacy, trade-investment, education-training-labor, science-technology, and security-defence.
Highlighting Hesse's role as a leading economic hub in Germany and Europe, Hai stated that within the overall positive Vietnam-Germany ties, the relationship between Vietnam and Hesse has been growing across all sectors, especially in economy, education, training, and people-to-people exchange, with the bilateral trade turnover reaching about 1 billion USD per year.
The cooperation between Vietnam and Hesse is on a strong upward trajectory, clearly evidenced by the presence of many Hesse enterprises in Vietnam and vice versa.
Particularly, in educational cooperation, the Vietnamese-German University in Ho Chi Minh City, established with the initiative of Hesse, has become a centre of high-quality education.
Moreover, Hesse has continued to participate in the project to build, develop, and expand the university, and provided scholarships for Vietnamese students and researchers.
Regarding parliamentary cooperation, Hai said he hoped that the legislative bodies of the two countries will cooperate more closely through dialogue mechanisms and policy exchanges at various levels, thus enhancing mutual understanding and trust, as well as fostering friendship between the two peoples and cooperation between the parliamentary groups of the two countries.
For his part, Rhein praised the socio-economic achievements Vietnam has made in recent years.
He emphasised that Vietnam and Germany still have great potential for cooperation, especially in the field of education and training. He noted that Hesse's authorities consider the Vietnamese-German University project a top priority and will continue to coordinate with Vietnam to promote the university's growth.
The two sides agreed to closely coordinate in implementing activities to commemorate the 50th 🔥anniversary of the Vietnam-Germany diplomatic relations (September 23, 1975 - 2025)./.
Vietnam attaches great importance to its strategic partnership with Germany, Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan said while receiving Minister-President of State of Hessen of Germany Boris Rhein, who is on a working visit to the Southeast Asian country.
The first Vietnam Dialogue, a thematic forum on capital investment in Vietnam, convened on November 19 in Frankfurt, Germany, bringing together Vietnamese and German enterprises in banking, capital management, and financial technology.
Singapore and Germany have decided to elevate their ties to a Strategic Partnership to promote closer cooperation in areas of mutual interest such as security, artificial intelligence (AI) and clean energy.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).

The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
