Vietnam, New Zealand forum in Auckland promotes trade
VOV.VN - Vietnam and New Zealand business leaders met on the side lines of the TPP signing ceremony in Auckland to get a better handle on emerging issues surrounding increased trade and cooperation between the two countries.
Dozens of business, community and government leaders were in attendance at the event sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) in collaboration with the ASEAN Business Council-New Zealand (ANZBC).
At the forum, Vietnam Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang talked about where the Vietnam economy has been, where it is headed and how the proposed TPP and governmental laws and regulations under consideration would affect them.
Forums like this are designed to improve Vietnam and New Zealand trade and cooperation relationships, said Hoang because by being there and talking face to face it gives people a better fingertip feel for what's going on.

New Zealand Minister of Trade Todd Michael McClay, agreed with Hoang’s assessment that the TPP would stimulate economic trade and cooperation between the two nations in a vast array of fields.
McClay also unveiled the planned launch of a new direct air route between Auckland and Ho Chi Minh City later this year by New Zealand Airlines that is expected to play an important role in enhanced trade between the two nations.
