Hanoi June 22, 2018

On behalf of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), I would like

to send sincere thanks to your valuable cooperation and support in recent years.

Vietnam’s export sector has recently played a crucial role in the country's

economic growth, achieving US$200 billion in 2017 and reaching a very impressive

growth of over 21%. According to the plan to increase Vietnam’s export

competitiveness to 2020, vision to 2030 issued by the Prime Minister on August 3,

2017, the general objectives are to enhance the competitiveness of Vietnamese

exports in the world market, treble the 2010 export value by 2020, achieve trade

balance by 2020, and take a trade surplus in 2021-2030.

To further implement resolutions of the Political Bureau and the Vietnamese

Government of Vietnam on promoting the important role of the business

community and entrepreneurs, particularly supporting exporters in Vietnam to

overcome difficulties, enhance their competitiveness and expand international

markets, VCCI assigned Vietnam Business Forum of VCCI to conduct the

Program on Supporting Exporters in Vietnam with a series of activities in 2018-

2020 as follows:

1. Launching online Export-import Portal (Vietnam Export Gateway)

2. Organizing seminars and networking events to support exporters in

Vietnam

3. Publishing Vietnam Export Guidebook

4. Organizing the annual Vietnam Export Forum

To help VCCI’s Program obtain good results, support exporters in Vietnam to

expand business relations and foreign markets, and partly contribute to the

sustainable growth of Vietnam’s economy, VCCI would like to receive your

cooperation and support in actively joining the above activities of the Program.

Thank you and Best regards,

Dr. Vu Tien Loc

VCCI Chairman & President
