PM Chinh said Vietnam and Poland have participated in the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and are making efforts to ratify the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA) and to facilitate Poland's accession to ASEAN’s Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC).
He urged businesses of both countries to capitalize on these mechanisms to strengthen economic, trade, and investment ties.
"We aim to establish a more effective approach to connecting the two economies. This includes complementing one side's needs with the other side's strengths, such as goods, technology, trade, and investment,” said PM Chinh.
Businesses play a key role in building connections and sharing experiences, while governments are responsible for creating mechanisms, policies, and trust to support and facilitate these efforts, he noted.
