Hanoi (VNA) – More than 20 New Zealand companies will take part in the Vietnam–New Zealand trade, investment and business promotion conference to be held within the framework of the Autumn Fair 2025 in Hanoi.

The event, jointly organised by the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (Vietrade) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Vietnam Trade Office in New Zealand, and the ASEAN–New Zealand Business Council (ANZBC), aims to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation and expand export opportunities for Vietnamese firms in the Oceania region.

The conference, planned to take place on October 28 at the Vietnam Exposition Centre (VEC) in Hanoi’s Dong Anh commune, will bring together New Zealand enterprises from various sectors including design, construction, technology, software, agricultural products, health supplements, dairy, honey, nutrition, healthcare services, hotel investment and management, education, import–export trade, overseas study and migration services, finance, and real estate.

It is expected to serve as a platform to foster trade and investment cooperation, strengthen production and service supply chains, and exchange market information, policies, and partnership opportunities between the two countries.

According to the Vietrade, bilateral trade between Vietnam and New Zealand has grown strongly over the past five years, with both economies complementing each other. The two sides aim to raise two-way trade to 3 billion USD by 2026.

Vietnam’s fast-growing market has increasing demand for high-quality products and services from New Zealand, while Vietnamese exports such as electronics and processed goods are gaining a foothold in the New Zealand market. Promising areas for cooperation include agriculture, forestry, fisheries, digital technology, green economy, wood processing, construction materials, tourism, and education./.

Reducing risks, removing logistics bottlenecks amid Middle East volatility

According to Truong Xuan Trung, Trade Counsellor of Vietnam in the UAE, the Middle East serves not only as a consumption market but also as a key global transhipment hub, meaning instability in the region creates ripple effects across intercontinental transport networks. Shipping route adjustments and airspace restrictions have lengthened transit times, increased costs and disrupted delivery schedules, with some Vietnamese shipments forced to reroute or seek alternative markets.
