In a significant development that promises to bolster economic ties, Israel and Vietnam are set to ink a free trade agreement. The visit of Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister, Chang Lyu Kuang, to Israel signals a major step forward in the deepening economic cooperation between the two nations.
The announcement was made via the official Twitter account of Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eli Cohen, who wrote, “Today, I met with Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister as part of preparations for tomorrow’s signing of a free trade agreement. The trade volume between the two countries reached $2 billion last year, and this agreement will contribute to the development of the Israeli economy and reduce import costs.”
This impending agreement holds great promise for both Israel and Vietnam. The bilateral trade volume, which reached $2 billion in the previous year, is expected to experience a significant boost with the elimination of trade barriers and the facilitation of smoother trade practices.
