HANOI: Vietnamese and Belarusian food and agricultural enterprises gathered at a business meeting in Ha Noi.
Co-organised by the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the Belarusian Embassy in Viet Nam, the event sought to open opportunities for enterprises from the two countries to expand business links.
At the meeting, officials from major Belarusian enterprises expressed their hope to cooperate with, and purchase, peanuts, cashews, coffee and cacao from Viet Nam.
VCCI’s Deputy Head of the International Relations Department, Nguyen Vu Kien, highlighted that Viet Nam would create the best possible conditions for business from both countries.
In return, Belarusian Ambassador to Viet Nam Sadokho Valery said economic and trade relations had not met their full potentials, though Belarus had imported several products from Viet Nam, including tea, rice, and seafood.
Belarus had strong industries, such as chemistry, petrochemistry and hi-technology, but exports to Viet Nam in those fields remained modest, he added.
