Although two-way turnover has increased but has not been commensurate with the two countries’ potential, both sides need to promote more trade and investment cooperation, the PM added. For example, Vietnam has many mobile manufacturers, and is ready to export to Chile a large number of these items.
For his part, Chilean Ambassador Chomali Garib said that Vietnam is now the second largest phone provider, supplying the largest amount of frozen catfish and goods to Chile.
The ambassador suggested that in the coming time, Vietnamese enterprises will promote investment cooperation in Chile and vice versa. The Chilean government is also very interested in promoting cooperation in entrepreneurship and space.
