Vietnam Inaugurates Trade Center in Poland
Vietnam has just inaugurated its trade center in the Lesznowo Warsa district of Poland, which is expected to help the country boost export to the European country.
About 100 companies operating in the footwear field have already been present in the 7,000-square-meter trade center.
Vietnam’s Poland trade center project is part of a plan to build the ASEAN-Russia-EU investment and trade promotion center network to help Vietnamese and Polish enterprises.
Last year, Vietnam attained an export value of US$169.6 million, an increase of 26.2 per cent. Its key exports to Poland included agricultural products, latex, rice, tea and coffee, footwear, garment and textile and processed foods.
Meanwhile, Poland exported US$50.5 million to Vietnam in 2004, 14.3 per cent higher than 2003. Vietnam mainly imported Poland’s materials and equipment for its shipbuilding and mining industries, pharmaceutical products and powdered milk products.
Poland is also home to a large amount of Vietnamese people living and working there. Laborer
