Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, has held talks with Pham Minh Chinh,
Prime Minister of Vietnam, during a visit to Hanoi for a series of meetings with representatives
from the public and private sectors to explore opportunities for stronger bilateral trade and
investment ties.

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.

Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, who was accompanied by Dr Bader Abdulla Saeed bin Saeed AlMatrooshi,
UAE Ambassador to Vietnam, also met Nguyễn Hồng Diên, Vietnam’s Minister of Industry and
Trade, to discuss how to expand bilateral non-oil trade, which reached US$6.1 billion in the first
half of 2024, with growth of nine percent and 34 percent compared to the corresponding period
in 2023 and 2022, and solidifying Vietnam’s status as the UAE’s leading trade partner in the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.

The two sides also reviewed progress towards a Comprehensive Economic Partnership
Agreement, which will, once concluded and implemented, accelerate trade and investment flows
