Vice Chairwoman of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations Nguyen Thi Hoang Van chaired a teleconference on July 16 to inform the outcomes of the 13th National Party Congress, held earlier this year, to the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) – the European country’s oldest political party.

Van briefed participants on the main contents of the 13th National Party Congress’s documents in the fields of socio-economic development, Party building and political system, foreign policy and development goals of Vietnam in the coming time.

Affirming that Vietnam attaches importance to its relations with Germany, she expressed her hope that the relationship between the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Social Democratic Party of Germany will continue creating a firm foundation to develop the two nations’ relations in a more positive, practical and effective manner, especially in the context that they are about to celebrate the 10th founding anniversary of their strategic partnership.

Speaking at the event, Alexander Schweitzer, member of the SPD Central Committee and Minister of Labour, Social Affairs, Transformation and Digitalisation of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, congratulated the Communist Party of Vietnam on successfully organising its 13th National Congress as well as its achievements in socio-economic development and COVID-19 pandemic response.

He showed his belief that Vietnam will gain national development goals and visions set out by the 13th National Party Congress.

Speaking of the reliable and efficient cooperation with the CPV, he affirmed that the relationship with the Vietnamese party is an important part in the SPD’s external relations.

The German side also informed the Vietnamese counterpart of the German political situation ahead of the German federal election in September this year and the pandemic situation in the country.

The two sides also discussed measures to promote bilateral relations between the two parties and countries. They agreed to make joint efforts to organise the seventh dialogue between the two parties in 2021and consider theoretical dialogue as an important mechanism to promote effective cooperation between the CPV and SPD./.
