Vietnam, Alibaba Group sign e-commerce deal

The Vietnam Industry and Trade Information Center and Alibaba Group, the world’s largest e-commerce company, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on organizing and developing e-commerce in Vietnam.

Under the agreement, goods suppliers in Vietnam will be introduced on the online exchange Alibaba.com where buyers and sellers from across the globe can meet and do business, the center said Wednesday.

Vietnamese companies can also apply for special “Gold Supplier” recognition to boost their exposure on the website.

Representatives of the Vietnam Industry and Trade Information Center under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said the project would help businesses, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises, access the international market more easily and effectively.
