Lithuania looks to strengthen trade links with Vietnam

Lithuania's Ambassador Ina Marciulionyte today (Feb. 27) told a business forum in Hanoi that the country’s private sector is excited about strengthening trade links with their Vietnamese counterparts.

Lithuania, one of the EU Member States, looks favourably upon the prospects for enhanced trade and investment once the EU-Vietnam free trade agreement come into force in 2018, he said.

The trade pact also provides a wonderful opportunity for the two nations’ governments to develop bilateral cooperation as well. More active political relations encourage more active and smoother economic relations, he noted.
