President of the Union of Vietnamese Business Associations in Europe Hoang Manh Hue informed participants on its advantages in bringing Vietnamese goods abroad, for instance, it has a strong Vietnamese community, is an important retail distribution network, owns large commercial centers, understands the local market and especially has a generation of young, well-trained and visionary expats.
Hue said that with its advantages, the union was ready to cooperate with domestic enterprises to export goods to Europe.
Leaders of a number of Vietnamese business associations in Europe said that Vietnamese items in the continent had encountered stiff competition, thus, it was needed to have timely measures.
Through field surveys, overseas Vietnamese entrepreneurs realized that there was a great potential for exporting products in localities and small businesses. They also hoped to exchange and collaborate with domestic businesses to promote exports.
