New Zealand’s Minister of Economic Development and Minister of Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Hon Steven Joyce is now making a visit to Ho Chi Minh City with the aim at further strengthening trade and education ties between the two sides.
Joyce’s visit (March 18-20) is expected to open up more cooperation opportunities in trade, investment and education for both countries.
Vietnam is now New Zealand’s 20th largest trade partner, with two-way trade hitting 785 million USD in 2013. The figure is set to reach 1 billion USD by 2015.
“New Zealand is a logical and committed partner for Vietnam across a range of sectors where New Zealand is known globally for its expertise, including food and beverage, education, aviation, agribusiness and forestry and tourism,” said New Zealand Ambassador to Vietnam Haike Manning.
“In education especially, we see real opportunities to partner with Vietnam in the development and delivery of high quality education to Vietnamese students. Minister Joyce’s visit will provide an opportunity to discuss these partnerships further.”
During his stay in the city, Joyce will meet municipal leaders to discuss cooperation fields that New Zealand is interested in, as well as the important role of the country’s business community in the city in strengthening the two countries’ bilateral relations.-VNA
