The conference was jointly organised by the Ministry of Finance, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI).
Vice Finance Minister Do Hoang Anh Tuan said that the amendments to the Law on Customs look to renovate customs procedures comprehensively to meet international norms while safeguarding the country’s political security, sovereignty, and national security.
The amended law will help draw in foreign investment and improve the country’s competitiveness, Tuan said.
