A Vietnamese business delegation attended several meetings with
Argentinean businesses in Buenos Aires to inquire into the
possibilities of technology transfer, setting up joint ventures and look
for potential sales agents.
At a business forum
jointly held by the Vietnam Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the
Argentine Chamber of Commerce on May 28, delegates from both sides spoke
highly of trade and economic cooperation potential of the two
countries.
They shared the view that besides
challenges, the global economy downturn also offers opportunities for
the two countries to strengthen win-win ties in the framework of
South-South cooperation.
The same day, the Vietnam-Argentina Centre also organised an exchange between the two sides’ businesses.
In recent years, two way trade between Vietnam and Argentina has
seen a strong development, surpassing 1 billion USD for the first time
in 2012, up 7.4 percent year-on-year, according to statistics from the
Vietnam General Customs Department. The figure for the first quarter of
this year was 224 million USD, a 33 percent increase from the same
period last year.
The Vietnamese business delegation
is scheduled to leave for Chile on May 29, where they will also
meet with local companies.-VNA
