Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of Vietnam-France
Friendship and Cooperation Association Nguyen Lan Trung said the event will
warm up a seminar on bilateral economic and trade ties next year.
The association wishes that French and Vietnamese firms operating in each
country would become a strong and united community to boost two-way trade, he
said.
French Deputy Ambassador to Vietnam Olivier Sigaud said the free trade
agreement between Vietnam and the European Union, which will be ratified and
take effect in the near future, will make important contributions to promoting
bilateral ties.
As Vietnam and France will celebrate the 45th founding anniversary of
diplomatic ties and the fifth anniversary of strategic partnership next year, a
number of high-level mutual visits will be scheduled with an aim to step up
trade activities.
