VN and Bulgaria to boost trade co-operation
Wednesday, September 19,2018AsemconnectVietnam - Viet Nam and Bulgaria should promote co-operation in trade and investment, especially in hi-tech agriculture, enabling Vietnamese products to access the Bulgarian market, said Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue in Ha Noi on Tuesday.
Hue also asked Bulgaria to support the implementation of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and organise the 24th session of the Viet Nam-Bulgaria Inter-Government Committee on Economic and Scientific-Technical Cooperation, working on specific measures on trade and industry policies in order to boost economic co-operation in the future.
Minister Emil Karanikolov said the Bulgarian Government attached great importance to the socio-economic achievements made by Viet Nam over the past 30 years (1986-2016), the period of Viet Nam’s doi moi (renewal).
With the co-operation mechanism between the two countries, the minister said Bulgaria wanted to be a gateway for Vietnamese goods to enter Europe.
At the meeting, Karanikolov said Bulgaria was willing to support specific initiatives for business and co-operation with Vietnamese enterprises to promote trade and investment between the two countries.
Bulgaria is considered one of the most attractive destinations for trade and investment in Europe, with tax rates and operating costs at the lowest level in the EU. Vietnamese businesses should take advantage of these opportunities, said the minister.
According to Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Cao Quoc Hung, 2017 trade turnover between the two countries reached $109.16 million, of which Viet Nam’s exports to Bulgaria reached $38.36 million.
In investment co-operation, Bulgaria ranks 65th out of 129 countries and territories investing directly in Viet Nam, with nine FDI projects in operation and total registered capital of $30.99 million.
Karanikolov said Bulgaria would help Vietnamese businesses to invest in information technology, agriculture, services, transportation and tourism, especially in the country’s industrial parks and high-tech zones.
On the day same, the Bulgarian delegation worked with the Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh and leaders from Ha Noi’s People’s Committee and the Viet Nam Oil and Gas Group and achieved many positive results to develop co-operation and investment.
