This agreement was formalized during the annual meeting on bilateral cooperation between the two countries, which took place from November 7-8 in Bonn, Germany.
During the meeting, both sides conducted a review of the implementation of agreements and commitments related to ODA for 2022 and 2023. They also discussed recommendations to address any shortcomings and challenges encountered in the disbursement of loans and the execution of projects funded by Germany’s ODA, including non-refundable technical grants provided to Vietnam.
