HANOI Nike Air Max 96 Baratas , June 19 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese and Haiti top legislators reached consensus here on Monday that the two countries will develop their legislative ties and bilateral cooperation in other spheres.

President of the Senate of Haiti Youri Latortue arrived in Hanoi on Saturday for a six-day visit to Vietnam.

This is the first time the Senate has sent a high-ranking delegation to Vietnam to boost its friendship and cooperation with the Vietnamese legislature, Vietnam News Agency reported on Monday.

During their talks, Latortue and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan agreed to develop their bilateral legislative ties and foster cooperation on telecommunications, agriculture, gender equality among other fields.

Vietnam and Haiti set up diplomatic ties in 1997. The Haitian government opened its embassy in Hanoi in 2013.

Chancellor Angela Merkel was left scrambling to drag Germany out of a crisis Monday after high-stakes talks to form a new government collapsed, potentially forcing Europe's top economy into snap elections.

Germany now faces weeks, if not months, of paralysis with a lame-duck government that is unlikely to take bold policy action at home or on the European stage.

With no other viable coalition in sight Nike Air Max 270 Hombre Baratas , Germany may be forced to hold new elections that risk being as inconclusive as September's polls.

Merkel, whose liberal refugee policy has proved deeply divisive, had been forced to seek an alliance with an unlikely group of parties after the ballot left her without a majority.

But following more than a month of gruelling negotiations, the leader of the pro-business FDP, Christian Lindner Nike Air Max 270 Baratas , walked out of talks overnight, saying there was no "basis of trust" to forge a government with Merkel's conservative alliance CDU-CSU and the ecologist Greens.

"It is better not to govern than to govern badly," he said, adding that the parties did not share "a common vision on modernizing" Germany.

Voicing regret for the FDP's decision, Merkel vowed to steer Germany through the crisis.

"As chancellor... I will do everything to ensure that this country comes out well through this difficult time Nike Air Max 2018 Mujer Baratas ," she said.

News magazine Der Spiegel called the breakdown in negotiations a "catastrophe" for Merkel and said Germany, long seen as an island of stability, was having its "Brexit moment, its Trump moment."

French President Emmanuel Macron, who has sought Merkel's backing for an ambitious EU reform plan Nike Air Max 2018 Hombre Baratas , expressed concern about Germany's political deadlock, saying "it is not in our interest that the situation becomes tense."

The euro fell on the news, but Germany's blue-chip DAX remained largely firm, losing just 0.47 percent in early trade.

The acrimonious negotiations stumbled on a series of issues including immigration. Merkel let in more than 1 million asylum seekers since 2015, sparking a backlash that allowed the far-right AfD party to win its first seats in parliament.

Its parliamentary co-leader Alexander Gauland relished the collapse of the talks Nike Air Max 2018 Baratas , saying that Merkel had "failed" and that his party "looks forward to potential new elections" in which it stands to make strong gains.
