Vietnamese, Turkish enterprises seek to boost connectivity
A Vietnam-Turkey trade exchange was held in Ho Chi Minh City on October 19 with the participation of nine Turkish firms in herbal medicine and wooden product production.
The event was jointly organised by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) chapter in Ho Chi Minh City and Turkey’s Mediterranean Furniture, Paper, Forest Products Exporters’ Association (AKIB).
Turkey, the leading trade partner of Vietnam in the Middle East, is the gateway for Vietnamese products, including rice, tea, garment, footwear and electronics, to the Middle East market.
Currently, Turkey has 15 projects in Vietnam worth about 704 million USD, ranking 26th among foreign investors in Vietnam.
The two countries have agreed to work together to raise two-way trade to 4 billion USD in 2020 through the strengthening of trade and investment cooperation.
