A seminar on trade and economic cooperation between Vietnam and China was held in HCM City on September 24, offering an opportunity for businesses from HCM City and Guangdong province’s Zhuhai city to boost bilateral trade and investment cooperation.
The seminar, co-organised by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), HCM City branch and China-ASEAN Business Council (CABC), drew the participation of 50 entrepreneurs from Zhuhai city operating in such areas as electricity, electronics, biology, pharmaceuticals, garment-making equipment, household utensils, environmental technology and chemicals.
More than 100 representatives of VCCI member businesses also took part in the event.
According to VCCI Vice President Doan Duy Khuong, Vietnam and Guangdong have promoted each other’s strengths in economic, trade and investment cooperation. They are striving to raise their two-way trade to 5 billion USD in the next three years.
The CABC Deputy Secretary-General, Xu Ningning, said China has maintained its position as Vietnam’s largest trade partner for six consecutive years.
Vietnam and China see great potential for economic and trade cooperation as more and more Chinese businesses are interested in investing in the Vietnamese market, he said./.
