Vietnam, Saudi Arabia boost trade links
(VOV) - The Ministry of Industry and Trade will dispatch a delegation of 15 entrepreneurs to Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh city from May 24-29 to survey the market aiming to promote trade exchange.
The trip as part of the 2014 national trade promotion programme, aims to locate trade partners and introduce the image of Vietnamese products to the Arabian market.
The Ministry will also coordinate with Saudi Arabia to organize a business forum in a bid to provide opportunities for businesses to set up new trade links.
Last year’s two-way trade between the two countries reached US$1.71 billion, up 14.8 percent over 2012 including US$471.1 million and US$1.2 billion from Vietnamese exports and imports.
