German forum to promote VN firms
A Vietnamese business forum in Europe, the fourth of its kind, will be held in Berlin from September 11-13, according to an official from the Vietnamese Embassy in Germany.
In preparation for the event, 30 businesses representing thousands of Vietnamese businesses in the European country were convened in Berlin at the weekend by the commercial counsellor for Germany, Nguyen Minh Dung.
Dung also represents the Association of Vietnamese Businesses in Germany, and the organising board of the forum.
He said the event was expected to draw participants from about 350 Vietnamese businesses in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Russia and Ukraine, 20 commercial counsellors, ambassadors in Europe, as well as more than 100 businesses from Viet Nam.
Addressing the weekend meeting, the Ambassador to Germany, Do Hoa Binh, said the forum could play a significant role in the global economic crisis.
He said it would provide a chance for Vietnamese businesses to exchange experience, expand co-operation and give each other mutual assistance.
It would also help build up the business circle of overseas Vietnamese in Europe and encourage them to increase investment in the homeland, he said.
The ambassador also said the forum would be one of the activities to mark the 35th anniversary of relations between Viet Nam and Germany - and the Year of Viet Nam in Germany in 2010.
He called on Vietnamese businesses in Germany to actively support the embassy’s diplomatic activities to strengthen co-operation between the two countries.
