Last June 08, 2020, the National Assembly has ratified the Resolution on ratification of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA). This historic milestone signals the start of a new relationship with the European Union. This agreement represents a vote of confidence in Vietnam, as it is just the second ASEAN nation to sign an FTA with the EU, ushering an era of increased trade and investment, and begin the process of phasing out almost 99 percent of tariff lines and barriers to trade over the next decade. It will also open up new markets to European investment and innovation, and promote sustainable development in Vietnam.

In light of the historical milestone in the relationship between Vietnam and the EU when the EVFTA will come into force on August 01st, join EuroCham at this event with our special guest speaker from MOIT to get an update on:

• What are the key benefits for Vietnam and the EU's exports under the EVFTA?
• How can Vietnam's products be exported well to the EU? What technical barriers remain under EVFTA?
• What are the EU products that MOIT forecast to sharply surge in export volume to Vietnam and why?
