Lichtenberg borough will become a sister of Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem district under a memorandum of understanding signed in Berlin on November 17 by Lichtenberg’s Mayor Christina Emmrich and the Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoan Kiem Hoang Cong Khoi.

Under the agreement, the two sides will promote close cooperation in preparation for their connection. They will also focus their cooperation on information and experience exchange, especially in urban planning and development, natural and environmental protection, real estate management and trade centre development in the 2010-2012 period.

In the field of education, the two districts agreed to assist the relationship between Lichtenberg’s Alexander Puschkin school and Hoan Kiem’s Viet Duc high school.

The signing of the agreement was part of Mr Khoi’s working visit to Germany.

At the signing ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador Do Hoa Binh highlighted the important role of Mayor Emmrich in helping the Vietnamese community of about 4,000 people in Lichtenberg – the largest Vietnamese community in Berlin or even Germany.

Mr Binh also spoke of these Vietnamese expatriates’ efforts to integrate into local society and their considerable contributions to the local economy and culture. Many of their children excel in studies and receive high appreciation from Germans.
