Vietnam’s exports to France are expected to
earn nearly $1.8 billion by the end of this year, according to a seminar in
Paris on May 16.
Participants
at the event focused their discussions on bilateral trade ties, Vietnam’s
policies on trade, investment and economic development, and its legal
environment, as well as investment opportunities in the Southeast Asian
country.
Vietnamese
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Thanh Bien said that Vietnam aims
to increase its trade turnover with France by three times compared to 2010, to
reach $500 billion by 2020.
To
achieve the target, he said, it is essential to implement five synchronous
measures, including boosting production, expanding markets, adjusting
investment attraction policies, developing infrastructure, and promoting human
resource training.
Bien
highlighted the European Union (EU)’s vital role in promoting economic and
trade relations with Vietnam and other countries and regions around the world.
Despite recent fluctuations in the global market, Vietnam’s total export value
from France, one of its key EU markets, hit over $500 million in the first four
months of this year, he noted.
Vietnamese
Embassy envoy Bui Tien Hue stressed the need to build a more effective
Vietnam-France partnership in the near future, especially in 2013 when the two
countries will celebrate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties.
The
seminar was jointly held by the Vietnamese Embassy in France and the Paris
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIP) with the theme “Vietnam – France’s
important trade and industry partner in Southeast Asia”.
