Vietnam is taking concrete measures to accelerate export to
China, aiming to reach export turnovers of 5.4 billion US dollars
in 2010 and 11.1 billion US dollars in 2015, local newspaper
Saigon Liberation reported Friday.
Under a recent scheme on boosting export to China in the
2007-2015 period worked out by the Vietnamese Industry and Commerce
Ministry, the ministry will provide local enterprises with more
export information and instruct them to do business with
well-performing Chinese firms in a long-term and stable manner.
The ministry said relevant ministries should encourage and give
assistance to local enterprises which engage in producing and
trading large volumes of goods for the Chinese market, and improve
quarantine operations at border gates to facilitate export.
Vietnam is building and implementing schemes on boosting export
of specific key products to China, while probing into the
possibility of exporting new items. The country will further tap
enterprises owned by Chinese-Vietnamese people, and foreign
retailers which can buy Vietnamese goods and then sell them in
their supermarkets in China.
The country will strengthen trade and investment promotion at
home and abroad targeting big Chinese traders and investors who
produce goods in Vietnam and export them to China and other
countries, and establish companies designated for showcasing and
selling local products in such Chinese cities as Nanning, Guangzhou
and Shanghai.
Under the ministry's scheme, Vietnam will import Chinese goods
totaling 12.2 billion dollars in 2010 and 19.9 billion dollars in
2015.
