The UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi, met with the Prime Minister of Vietnam,
Pham Minh Chinh, in Hanoi on Monday to discuss progress towards a Comprehensive Economic

Partnership Agreement (CEPA).

A series of meetings with representatives from the public and private sectors were also held to explore opportunities
for stronger bilateral trade and investment ties.

The two sides also reviewed progress towards a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which
will accelerate trade and investment flows by removing tariffs, simplifying customs procedures, and improving market
access for services exporters, once implemented.

Al Zeyoudi also discussed the far-reaching benefits of the CEPA throughout talks with Nguyen Ba Hoan, Deputy
Minister of Labour - Invalids and Social Affairs, and Tran Thanh Nam, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural
Development, during which they discussed the potential for joint ventures and partnerships in these critical sectors.

The talks focused on deepening cooperation in sectors considered crucial to both nation’s economic growth and

diversification agendas, which include renewable energy, logistics, manufacturing, technology and agriculture.
