Meeting Eurasian Businesses in Vietnam in 2021

Delta E&C Vietnam and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICHAM) recently organized the "Eurasian Enterprises Meeting in Vietnam 2021". The event was an opportunity for leaders of FDI companies to share their experiences in handling crises and stabilizing business performances during the pandemic.

At the meeting, Mr. Tran Thanh Huan, Director of the Foreign Affairs Department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said 2021 is a tough year and business operations stalled. The Vietnamese government has endeavored to seek measures to contain the pandemic and help businesses restore normal operations.

Mr. Antonino Tedesco, Commercial Counselor of the Italian Embassy in Vietnam, said, currently, more Italian and European projects are coming to Vietnam in particular and Southeast Asia in general. Therefore, the Embassy and Italian businesses in Vietnam as well hope that Vietnam will deploy the vaccination strategy in the best way to keep investment and trade activities in a good place.

Representatives of the European Chamber of Commerce, the Italian Chamber of Commerce and the Korean Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam all shared the same opinions: To overcome the pandemic crisis and not leave severe economic consequences, Vietnam should roll out vaccination rather than large-scale lockdowns to avoid production stagnation, supply disruption and avoid losing the opportunity to attract foreign investors into Vietnam.
