Addressing the opening of the Vietnamese display at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang said the participation of Vietnamese businesses in this fair is extremely meaningful, reflecting the businesses' desire to promote cooperation with France and other countries, in the context that the two governments are resuming trade relations with the world following severe impacts by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the ambassador, the Vietnam - EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) which took effect in August 2020 is an important legal foundation for Vietnamese enterprises in general and of textile ones in particular in conquering the French and EU markets in the coming time.

He attributed the achievement to the trade promotion activities and active participation of the industry in trade fairs and exhibitions in many countries, along with the adoption of a variety of solutions
Although the EU is a large and potential market, it is a choosy one, Cam said, adding that attending such events as Premier Vision 2022 will help businesses understand the demand and tastes of European customers.
For his part, the executive director of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam, Adam Koulaksezian, said joining the fair offers an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to introduce their products as the world is currently facing supply difficulties after two years of stagnation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
