On 25 June, EuroCham Vice-Chair Jean-Jacques Bouflet delivered a keynote address at the EU Market Access – Belgium, your gateway to the EU market event hosted by the Belgium-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (BeLuxCham).
With 450 million consumers, the EU is a valuable market for Vietnamese businesses, and the seminar highlighted how Belgium is a strategic entry point. With a central location that is within a day’s reach of the EU’s largest markets, strong port and logistics infrastructure, and coordinated institutional backing, Belgium is the destination for export-oriented Vietnamese businesses planning to expand to Europe.
In his keynote speech, Mr. Bouflet provided an overview of the EU-Vietnam Trade Agreement (EVFTA), its achievement, and the outlook for further trade liberalisation in the coming year. The presentation helped businesses understand how they can benefit from the EVFTA and sparked engaging discussions.
EuroCham and our associated Business Associations will continue bringing the business community policy insights, opportunities, and advocacy initiatives to support business growth and Vietnam’s sustainable development.
