Around 200 representatives from the Canada-Vietnam Friendship Association, the Canada-Vietnam Trade Council and overseas Vietnamese businesses attended a forum held in Toronto, Canada on October 28.

Addressing the event, held by the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) and the Vietnamese Embassy in Canada, Vietnamese Ambassador To Anh Dung praised the efforts made by OV entrepreneurs to boost the two countries’ trade and investment ties.

He affirmed that despite their geographic distance, the two countries are finding many opportunities to intensify cooperation.

Deputy Director of MoIT’s Department for European Markets Nguyen Duc Thuong stressed the State’s policy of creating favourable conditions for OV entrepreneurs to do business in their homeland.

Delegates expressed their hope that similar activities will be held to connect and support the Vietnamese business community inside and outside Vietnam in the future.-VNA
