During their meeting, the officials focused their discussion on how to boost the comprehensive cooperation and partnership between Vietnam and the EU, towards bringing interests to both sides. 

In 2016, the EU surpassed the US to become Vietnam’s second largest trade partner and a leading importer of Vietnamese commodities.

In the first quarter of this year, the two-way trade reached US$4.34 billion, representing a year-on-year rise of 27.18 percent.


The figure is expected to grow further in the future as the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) takes effect.
