Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the Canada-Vietnam
Business Council signed a cooperative agreement in Hanoi on Dec. 9.
Addressing the function, VCCI Permanent Deputy Chairman Hoang Van Dung
said Vietnam-Canada economic and trade cooperation does not match the
two countries’ potential and strengths.
The signing of
the agreement will help boost trade relations between the two countries
via market approaches and providing information on economic, trade and
investment development policies, as well as setting up a working group
to maintain regular information exchange, he said.
Dung
pledged Vietnam will support and create all favourable conditions
for Canadian businesses to invest in the Southeast Asian country as well
as deal with difficulties the two sides have faced in the past.
According
to the President of the Canada-Vietnam Business Council, Danny Leung,
the signing of the agreement is a positive signal in economic
development between the two countries.
The document will serve
as a legal corridor for both sides to seek effective measures to
strengthen economic and trade cooperation in the future, he said./.
