Representing of the leading producer and exporter of Vietnamese handicrafts farm produce expressed the intension during a recent fact-finding trip and meetings with business partners in New Zealand’s capital city of Wellington.

On the occasion, a strategic cooperation agreement in supporting each other in market penetration, product supply, services and related activities was signed by Chairman of the Board of Directors Nguyen Huu Thang and Chairman of the New Zealand Trade Centre (NZTC) Adam Martin.

At a working session with the group’s representatives, Vietnamese Ambassador to New Zealand Nguyen Viet Dung spoke highly of the groups’ efforts in penetrating into the foreign country’s market while pledging to support the group, and Vietnamese businesses at large to intensify two-way trade cooperation, striving to lift the two countries’ bilateral trade turnover to 1.7 billion USD by 2020.
