part of his activities during the German tour, the PM asked
Hamburg to step up cooperation in seaport management,
planning and development with port cities of
Vietnam,
including Danang, Hai Phong and
Ho Chi
Minh City.

Vietnam,
especially in areas of their strength such as shipbuilding, petrochemistry,
aviation-aerospace, electronics, precision mechanics, chemicals and optical
equipment.

the strategic partnership between the two countries in broad range of
fields, particularly in trade and investment.

largest system of seaports in
Europe and the
third largest in the world, where around 145 million tonnes of cargo are
transited each year.
The state is also a major gateway for Vietnamese goods to enter
Germany and Europe, Scholz said, adding that the
number of containers from and to
Vietnamthrough the
Hamburgport has grown 50% over recent years.
The Mayor hailed contributions by the Vietnamese community in
Hamburg to foster friendship and trade-investment ties
between

Phuc's proposals on stronger collaboration between the two sides aiming to
realize initiatives in the time to come.
