The President of the BCCI and the Ambassador of Vietnam to our country on the air of "Good Morning, Europe", Euronews Bulgaria
The friendship between Vietnam and Bulgaria is preserved and developed continuously, with loyal close feelings and mutual trust. The Vietnamese people always appreciate and remember the valuable assistance of the Bulgarian people during the period of struggle for national independence and the rebuilding of the country. We do not forget the Bulgarian friends who have helped us train thousands of scientists and qualified workers. This was said today on the air of "Good Morning, Europe" by the Ambassador of Vietnam to our country, Her Excellency Nguyen Thi Minh Nguyet.
The two countries can cooperate in the field of trade because most of the products produced by Vietnam and Bulgaria are complementary rather than competitors. Bulgarian agricultural products such as wheat, sunflower oil, dairy products are the products for which there is a high demand in the Vietnamese market and are currently imported from European markets. In addition to trade, I would like to mention the field of science and technology here because, recently, digitalization and green transformation are top priorities of most countries in the world, including Bulgaria and Vietnam.
According to Ambassador Nguyen Thi Minh Nguyet, Bulgaria and Vietnam can also cooperate in the field of tourism, and many of the tourism personnel are trained in our country.
The President of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Tsvetan Simeonov, pointed out that in recent years Vietnam has become an interesting destination for investment and trade, because there the deadlines for contracts are fulfilled more correctly and the workers who take care of the production of these goods are more serious. The country is important for Bulgaria also in the context of labor imports.
Simeonov also noted the importance of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement for deepening business relations and an opportunity for European businesses to reach the strong, growing market of Vietnam.
The President of the BCCI emphasized that today's Bulgarian-Vietnamese Forum at the Chamber is organized on the occasion of 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Bulgaria and aims to strengthen economic, trade and investment bilateral cooperation, practical and effective implementation of the signed cooperation agreements between the two countries in the economic aspect, etc.
