A senior official from the provincial Department of Industry and Trade said that amid the complex developments of COVID-19 in the world and in Vietnam, Kien Giang has effectively conducted prevention and control measures and recorded no cases of community transmission to date.
The production and business activities of enterprises in the locality have therefore developed well.
In addition, as few countries witnessing new outbreaks are not main markets of local companies, their imports and exports have remained stable.
As the pandemic is expected to persist, Kien Giang will strive to boost export activities and help businesses deal with any difficulties and shortcomings, speed up trade promotion, and consolidate traditional markets and seek new markets.
It has also issued a plan on the implementation and promotion of free trade agreements and has provided up-to-date information on the domestic and foreign markets to help businesses orient their production and business./.
