Speaking at the event, Czech Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Alena Schillerová highly valued the contributions of the Vietnamese community to the host country’s economy. She said the agreement would be implemented through specific programmes aimed at helping enterprises and business households access and comply with new regulations on taxation, finance and business administration, including provisions related to the Electronic Sales Records (EET) 2.0 system.

Nguyen Viet Anh, representing the Vietnamese Embassy in the Czech Republic, spoke highly of the initiative, saying that timely updates on legal regulations would help the Vietnamese business community integrate more deeply into the Czech business environment and proactively adapt to future changes.

As part of the programme, participants got updates on a range of new regulations related to business activities in the Czech Republic, including EET 2.0 system, which is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.

During the dialogue session, many Vietnamese entrepreneurs highlighted challenges in adapting to policy changes, including language barriers, limited access to up-to-date information and increasing competitive pressure.

Experts stressed that proactively keeping abreast of legal regulations and applying modern management technologies would be the key for businesses to achieve sustainable development./.
