Vietnam values Walmart’ interest in home market
The plan not only helps Vietnam in selling the products but also
transfer of technology and expertise, he said while receiving Walmart
Executive Vice President of Global Sourcing Bill Fouldy in Hanoi on
January 7.
Ninh added that the Vietnamese goods are now
available in 200 countries and territories worldwide. As of November
2013, Vietnam was the 23rd biggest exporters to the US, proving that
its commodities hold appeal to foreign countries, even choosy markets
like the US and Europe.
The host expressed his hope that
Walmart will back Vietnam during the negotiations for the Trans-Pacific
Partnership and free trade agreements with countries worldwide.
Fouldy informed his host of Walmart’s plan to open an outlet in Vietnam in the coming time.
He said the group’s purchase of Vietnamese goods will push forward
the Vietnam – US cooperation, in the spirit of their existing
comprehensive partnership.-VNA
