Currently, terms at the ministerial level have been agreed upon. Accordingly, the two ministries have agreed to report to the competent authorities of both countries on the results of the ministerial-level discussions to complete the entire negotiation process and officially sign the CEPA at the earliest.

Regarding the structure of goods, Vietnam's main exports to the UAE include mobile phones, machinery, equipment, spare parts, computers and components, footwear, textiles, vehicles and parts, and agricultural products.

Vietnam's main imports from the UAE are petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), raw plastic materials, animal feed and raw materials, common metals, and chemicals.

The trade agreement between Vietnam and the UAE once signed and implemented, will open up significant opportunities for Vietnam's key products to access many other markets through the key transshipment market of the UAE.
