After listening to the opinions of the enterprises’ representatives, the Minister of Industry and Trade, Head of the Government Negotiating Delegation, concluded that Vietnam has a large, valuable, and stable demand for purchasing goods, equipment, and services from the United States. These are areas where the United States has strengths and Vietnam has needs. However, trade exchanges between the two countries have not truly matched their potential.
The Minister emphasized the need for both sides to urgently review and promptly address any difficulties and obstacles, facilitating enterprises in the purchase and sale of essential products to supplement each other’s goods needs.
At the same time, the Minister suggested that in the coming time, enterprises should be more proactive in realizing this immense potential. This is a practical action to promote substantive, in-depth, and effective economic, trade, and investment cooperation between the two countries, while also contributing to a harmonious and sustainable trade balance.
