He pointed out that the two-way trade revenue of 13 billion USD still remains low, given similarities shared by Vietnam and Indonesia in terms of population, market and cooperation priorities.
The two countries’ enterprises should understand more about the respective markets, he stressed.
Vietnam has joined many free trade agreements (FTAs), including new-generation ones with high standards, the leader said, describing this an opportunity for Indonesian firms.
He added that Vietnam is stepping up administrative reforms and working to create open policies for investors.

He suggested leaders of Vietnamese and Indonesian ministries and agencies set out plans materialising cooperation agreements.
