AHKs combine three functions in their locations.
1. Official Representatives of the German Economy
The AHKs are the central actors of the German foreign trade promotion on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany. They represent the German business interests in corresponding host countries. They provide information and advertise the German location.
2. Services for companies
Under the service brand “DEinternational”, the AHKs support the foreign trade business activities of firms from Germany and the host country.
3. Membership organization (The representation in Vietnam is no membership organization yet)
The AHKs connect to companies which are active in a bilateral economic relationship. Those members give AHKs the authority needed when interacting with politics, business and administration in terms of promoting bilateral business relation.
The German Economic Community in Vietnam is promoted by the German Business Association (GBA).
