Hosting a reception in Hanoi on Wednesday for a delegation led by EU-ASEAN Business Council (EU-ABC) Chairman Jens Rübbert and EuroCham Vietnam Chairman Dominik Meichle, Mr. Hai said that the Vietnamese NA and Government always accompany and offer all possible support to firms to do business successfully and sustainably in Vietnam.

He called for the European Commission’s early removal of the "yellow card" warning against Vietnamese seafood exports, taking into account Vietnam's efforts to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, the differences in fisheries management capacity, and challenges faced by Vietnamese fishermen.

Vice Chairman Hai highlighted the openness to feedback from European businesses on enhancing the Vietnam-EU relationship, particularly in economic and trade spheres.

EU-ABC Chairman Jens Rübbert expressed the interest of European businesses in investing and doing business across various sectors in Vietnam, and affirmed the EU-ABC's support for the ratification of the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement by EU member parliaments.

EuroCham Vietnam Chairman Meichle emphasized their commitment to continued collaboration with Vietnamese authorities for future development.
