In her remarks, Vietnamese Ambassador to Hungary Nguyen Thi Bich Thao affirmed that the Vietnamese Government attaches importance to the substantive enhancement of the traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation with Hungary. The political trust between the two countries provides the fundamental base for them to step up ties in other spheres, especially economy and trade.
Despite its recent growth, she noted, bilateral trade has yet to match potential. Vietnam is a developing country which has big demand for modern machinery and equipment, and products with high added value. Besides, it is strong at producing and exporting agricultural and seafood products, apparel, footwear, and electronic components.
Given this, she suggested the two sides increase trading to tap into each other’s strengths and export the products in demand in each other’s markets.
Tordai Peter, head of the Nograd Chamber of Commerce and Industry, described the Vietnamese enterprises in Hungary as an indispensable part in the promotion of bilateral business partnerships.
He expressed his hope that more Vietnamese companies will come to Nograd to seek business chances in the coming time.
Giving a presentation of the Vietnamese market, Tran Ngoc Ha, head of the Vietnamese Trade Office in Hungary, held that as both sides are encountering many challenges, they should make joint efforts to surmount difficulties and bolster economic and trade ties.
He suggested stepping up the connectivity between their enterprises, calling on the commerce and industry chambers of Nograd and other Hungarian localities, as well as the Hungarian - Vietnamese Business Council to cooperate with the Trade Office of Vietnam to share information and help connect businesses.
The two sides should send more business delegations to fairs and exhibitions to help them explore markets and seek partners, Ha continued, adding that they can also enhance labour cooperation as Hungary is facing a labour shortage while Vietnam has an abundant, industrious, and skilled workforce.
The Vietnamese side always creates the best possible conditions for both sides’ enterprises to promote economic and trade relations, the official affirmed.
