Ukraine and Vietnam reached an agreement on bilateral cooperation

August 28-30, the 8th session of the Vietnam-Ukraine Inter-governmental Committee on Economic-Commercial and Scientific-Technological Cooperation was held in Kyiv.

As a result of this event, Ukraine and Vietnam reached an agreement to create more favourable conditions to boost business cooperation between two countries, VietNamNet Bridge reported.

The Ukrainian side wanted to cooperate with Vietnam in energy, chemicals, shipbuilding, manufacturing, aviation and aerospace, while the Vietnamese side is expected to provide Ukraine with consumer goods, garments, footwear, and farm produce.

Over recent years, bilateral trade between Vietnam and Ukraine has steadily increased.
However, most participants at the session agreed that two-way trade as well as scientific-technological cooperation between Vietnam and Ukraine have failed to match their potential and aspirations.

The Vietnamese delegation to the conference was led by Le Danh Vinh, Deputy Trade Minister, and the Ukrainian delegation by Deputy Economics Minister Andriy Berezny.
