Deputy Foreign Minister To Anh Dung thanked the German Government for the donation and said he hopes the German Government will provide other medical assistance to Vietnam, particularly more vaccine doses and cooperate in producing COVID-19 vaccines and treatment drugs.
German Ambassador to Vietnam Guido Hildner said Germany will stand side by side with Vietnam in tackling COVID-19, and will cooperate with Vietnam to implement joint projects including One Health project and build a center for infectious disease prevention and control in Vietnam.
He said he believes the Vietnamese Government’s determination and measures will soon push back the pandemic, and that bilateral exchanges, trade, and commerce will soon recover.
