"In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, many celebrating programs and activities cannot be held due to complicated situations. However, the relationship between the two countries continues to be motivated by the signing and The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union (EU) and Vietnam (EVFTA). The two countries have been working closely at regional and multilateral forums as, in the last 6 months of 2020, Vietnam is serving as the Chairman of ASEAN and Germany obtains the title of President of the EU. In addition, the solidarity between the people of the two countries is increasingly tightened through mutual assistance activities in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic", stressed Tina Spicher.
