Meanwhile, CT Group sealed an agreement with Falcon to boost hi-tech adoption in its key business sectors.
Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Trade Counsellor in Israel Le Thai Hoa said that the economic-trade relations between the two countries have grown constantly. The two sides have been in talks for the signing of a bilateral free trade agreement to facilitate their cooperation in business, investment and services.
He expected CT Group pioneering in opening a representative office in Israel will pave the way for more Vietnamese firms to do the same, contributing to accelerate the two countries’ ties in economy, trade, investment and technology.
