On the occasion of 30 years of bilateral diplomatic ties, Ambassador Tuan said that the UAE has identified the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) as one of the three priority pillars in economic cooperation with Vietnam until 2030.
The UAE is the largest trade partner of Vietnam in the Middle East-North Africa region. It is also the seventh biggest importer of Vietnamese goods.
There remains big room for the two countries to further boost economic relations on the basis of the complementary strengths of the two economies, Ambassador Tuan said.
Vietnam is expected to send over 100,000 skilled workers to the UAE in the near future.
The Vietnamese Embassy in the UAE will do its utmost to address difficulties facing trade and investment relations between the two countries and give priority to promoting trade and investment cooperation in energy, agriculture, infrastructure, finance, logistics, labour, and tourism, according to Ambassador Tuan.
