Can Tho is positioning itself to strengthen ties with Germany across sectors critical to the city's future development, particularly in green economy and logistics infrastructure.
The city has expressed its commitment to working closely with the German Ambassador, German Consul General, and the German development organization GIZ to access cooperation programmes, technical expertise, and resources. Priority areas identified include sustainable agriculture and fisheries production, water resource management, and environmental protection initiatives aligned with Germany's advanced practices.
Climate change adaptation and circular economy development have emerged as key focus areas for the partnership. Can Tho's engagement reflects broader Vietnamese efforts to attract German support for regional economic transformation while addressing environmental challenges inherent to the densely populated Mekong Delta.
The cooperation framework aims to connect local stakeholders with German institutions and experts capable of transferring knowledge and best practices in green technologies and sustainable urban development. Such partnerships are expected to strengthen Can Tho's competitive positioning as a regional logistics hub while advancing environmental sustainability objectives.
