Viet-Han garment join stock company in Hoa Binh steps up production to meet deadlines for orders from foreign partners.

Reporter: Could you please point out advantages that will help Hoa Binh achieve its export targets set for 2019?

 Mr. Pham Tien Dung: In 2018, Hoa Binh’s import-export turnover exceeded 1.1 billion USD. Last year, the province focused on exporting processed and manufactured products. Its export markets were expanded thanks to opportunities brought about by new-generation free trade agreements. The local business climate was improved significantly. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) took effect in early 2019 and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is expected to follow suit later this year, creating a magnet for foreign direct investment and giving a boost to production businesses.

 Mr. Pham Tien Dung: The trade and industry sector will focus on reforming administrative procedures, attracting investment, stepping up the building and development and registration of national trademarks and key export staples, and implementing Vietnam’s international integration commitments.
