A Viet Nam-Middle East Trade Forum to be held in HCM City on May 11 is expected to help boost trade between the two sides.

Organised by the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, MIG and RELAM-Dubai, the forum will see the UAE ambassador, the Vietnamese ambassador to the UAE, and leaders of HCM City, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, business groups and businesses in the two countries.

The forum will introduce the business and investment environment in Việt Nam and the UAE and explore co-operation opportunities between businesses in various sectors, including investment, industry, agriculture, telecommunications, fisheries, construction, and building materials.

Businesses will sign agreements at the forum.

According to the organisers, the forum is a very important event amid Viet Nam’s plans to strengthen relations with Middle Eastern and African countries in 2016-25. — VNS
