During the event, the diplomat
highlighted the potential for stronger cooperation in economy and trade between
Vietnam and Egypt, saying that the recent State-level visit
to Vietnam
by Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi opened a new stage in bilateral
relations.
He briefed participants on Vietnam’s
economic development, business environment, investment attraction policies and
key exports.
The ambassador suggested measures to
promote economic and trade ties, calling on the two countries’ businesses to
participate in trade fairs, exhibitions and investment workshops, thus seeking
more business opportunities.
The Vietnamese Embassy is always
willing to help Egyptian firms connect with partners in Vietnam, he affirmed.
For his part, Secretary General of
the Egyptian Business Association, Mohamed Yousef said leaders of the two
nations have agreed to enhance bilateral economic relations, which is bringing
great benefits to enterprises from both nations.
Promoting trade cooperation will

ties, he added.
