Chairman of the Vietnam-Germany Friendship Organization – Hanoi chapter Nguyen Quang Hieu stressed the role of people-to-people exchange in Hanoi - Berlin relations during its 6th Congress for tenure 2022-2027 on August 31.

According to Hieu, the Organization has been actively promoting understanding between the two peoples via the teaching of German languages to young Vietnamese, introducing the image of Vietnamese people, its culture, and the capital city as a safe and attractive destination for international friends.

For the 2022-2027 period, Hieu expected the Organization to further expand cooperation with German partners, including German Embassy in Vietnam, Goethe Institute, AFK, and the German community in Hanoi, along with increasing its membership.
