Offcial calls for higher foreign trade efficiency
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Thanh Bien told Vietnamese commercial counsellors in the Asia-Pacific region that their key tasks are to improve the efficiency of commercial activities.
Deputy Minister Bien emphasised the importance of trade promotion activities, while pledging more efforts to renew the national trade promotion mechanism and build up norms for evaluation of trade promotion projects.
At a meeting with Vietnamese cousellors in Tokyo on Aug. 28, Bien affirmed their important role in developing trade promotion programmes in each market, improving the National Trade Promotion Council’s activities and suggesting projects for the country’s trade promotion programmes.
Commercial counsellors also help bring more foreign business delegations to Vietnam – an effective and economic form of trade promotion, he said.
To create more goods for export, deputy minister Bien said that the Ministry of Industry and Trade should renew the cooperation mechanism by combining industry and trade, production and marketing, and speed up economic restructuring, attract investment and create high quality and competitive staples.
On market information, deputy minister Bien said that his ministry will launch an e-information gate in Hanoi on September 9 and in Ho Chi Minh City on Sept. 12, which are expected to be a turning point in the supply of information on overseas markets.
