Vietnam, Turkey boast huge potential for future broader cooperation
VOV.VN - Vietnam’s impressive economic growth over recent years and its great potential are expected to create a wealth of co-operation opportunities for both Vietnam and Turkey moving forward, according to Turkish Ambassador to Vietnam Haldun Tekneci.
The Turkish diplomat made the statement as part of the occasion of the 45th anniversary since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, adding that Vietnam represents one of the leading partners of Turkey in ASEAN.
He went on to reveal that bilateral trade exceeded US$2.2 billion last year, hoping that this figure will continue to grow over the coming time.
At present, many Turkish financiers are starting to view the Vietnamese market as an important part for their investment activities.
He outlined there remains plenty of room for co-operation in fields such as tourism, defence, education, energy, construction, and health care, adding that speeding up visa procedures and improving market access conditions will play an important role for businesses of the two countries as they seek to strengthen connectivity.
Furthermore, the exchange of trade delegations and the organisation of seminars is expected to help both sides to gain greater insights into about each other's needs and capabilities, whilst also serving as platforms to devise future co-operation solutions, he noted.
According to details given by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam, as of December, 2022, Turkish businesses have invested 34 projects throughout Vietnam totally capitalized at US$791.88 million.
