The portal, built with the assistance from the European Union, is the first and only one in the country to provide market information relating to almost all countries and territories as well as economic-trade organisations worldwide.
Addressing the launching ceremony, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Thanh Bien said that in the context of Vietnam’s active integration into the international economy, information of foreign markets are useful for businesses to design their proper trade promotion programs and business strategies.
Ambassador and Head of the European Commission’s Delegation Sean Doyle said the portal is a typical example of the Vietnam-EU cooperation in improving competitiveness for Vietnamese businesses and intensifying exports.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade also plans to build a Vietnam Export Portal in 2009 in order to accelerate export activities.
