We will proudly represent the contributions of our community over the past decades. The GBA reaffirms its commitment to fostering the German-Vietnamese economic partnership and creating joint success stories.

“I am delighted by the progress in our political, diplomatic, trade, investment, and cultural partnerships. I am pleased to announce that Germany will establish an international high school in Vietnam, symbolizing our educational cooperation. During my term, I will focus on strengthening our economic and cultural ties and look forward to the support of local authorities.” Ambassador Barth stated.
