越南公司着眼于在香港的贸易

Firms eye trade in Hong Kong (Vietnam)

As one of the leading trade and financial centres of the world, Hong Kong is a potential business partner that could also help Vietnamese companies link up with their global counterparts, a senior Vietnamese official said. 
Le Manh Ha, deputy chairman of the Government Office, speaking at a seminar titled “Hong Kong: Your Partner in International Trade” in HCM City yesterday, said trade between the two sides increased strongly in recent years. 
It was worth US$16.3 billion last year, a year-on-year increase of 16.7 per cent, with Viet Nam’s exports accounting for $6.5 billion. 
Its main export items were electronic and telecoms equipment and parts; garments and textiles; footwear; seafood; rice; timber and timber products; and electrical cables. 
“Viet Nam currently is Hong Kong’s ninth largest trading partner, but there is room to increase their trade,” Hà said. 
In terms of investment in Viet Nam, Hong Kong ranks fourth. 
The Government plans to improve the investment environment and help businesses cut back costs.
