Vietnam & Mozambique look to new stage of economic relationship

The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) held a meeting on June 21 between the President of the National Assembly of Mozambique, Ms. Esperanca Bias, who is visiting Vietnam, and Vietnamese businesses. A representative from the Ministry of Planning and Investment said that Vietnam is ready to act as a transshipment hub for Mozambique’s goods to expand in Southeast Asia. Vietnam also hopes that Mozambique will be a bridge helping its goods penetrate into the southern African market. Vietnam is currently a priority in Mozambique’s Eastern foreign policy.
