The United Arab Emirates (UAE) holds a strategic position as both a “gateway” for exports to the Middle East and a convenient hub connecting Europe, Africa, and South Asia. At the same time, it serves as a potential source of investment capital for many economic sectors in Vietnam. In the current context, if Vietnamese enterprises can take advantage of opportunities from CEPA negotiations and meet Halal standards as well as quality requirements, they will be able to strengthen their presence in the UAE in particular and the Middle East in general.
To support the Vietnamese business community in accessing information and exploring opportunities for trade and investment cooperation in the UAE and Middle East markets, Trade and Investment Promotion Support Center (Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency – Ministry of Industry and Trade), in collaboration with IMCE Global and relevant partners, is organizing the seminar “Promoting Trade and Investment Cooperation in the UAE – Middle East Market” with details as follows:
