Vietnam trade officials based in Europe got together at a conference in Brussels from July 14-16 to promote Vietnam-European Union trade relations.

The conference, the fourth of its kind, was organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade with the support of the European Commission and the European Trade Policy and Investment Support Project.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Ho Thi Kim Thoa, representatives from several ministries, in addition to 18 of Vietnam’s minister counsellors and commercial counsellors in Europe attended the event.

The three-day conference looked at ways to enhance trade between Vietnam and the EU, provided trade officials with the EU’s new regulations on the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and the Vietnam-EU Partnership and Co-operation Agreement.

It also created opportunities for the Vietnam side to hold dialogues with EU trade officials on issues of common concern, including the recognition of Vietnam’s market economy, the EU’s supplementary draft on anti-dumping, and encourage Vietnam to involve itself in more international events.
