(VOV) – Belarus and Vietnam have great potential for expanding economic, trade and investment cooperation, says Prime Minister Mikhail V. Myasnikovich.
- Belarus boosts economic ties with Vietnam
- Belarus, Vietnam eye US$500 million trade in 2015
- Vietnam, Belarus strengthen trade ties
Receiving Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang in Minsk on September 11, Myasnikovich assured his guest that Belarus will help Vietnam increase relations with other Customs Union members (Russia and Kazakhstan).
He also expressed his hope that Vietnam will be a gateway for Belarus to penetrate the large, lucrative Southeast Asian market.
Hoang briefed Myasnikovich on the results of the 10th meeting of the Vietnam-Belarus Inter-government Committee for Economic, Trade and Scientific and Technological Cooperation, the Vietnam-Belarus business forum, and the current third round of free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations between Vietnam and the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
All these activities will support the business communities of the two countries in fostering economic and trade ties, Hoang said.
He recalled a Belarus visit in May 2013 by PM Nguyen Tan Dung during which both PMs agreed to raise two-way trade to US$500 million ahead of the 2015 schedule.
At the meeting, PM Myasnikovich and Minister Hoang discussed the prospect for stronger bilateral cooperation in farm produce and food processing, light industry, construction, electronics engineering, automobile assembling, and truck and agricultural machine manufacturing.
