At the meeting, Ms Xuan praised South Africa’s important role as a locomotive and the gateway for trade in southern Africa. She asked the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) and local enterprise to continue promoting economic, trade and investment cooperation in the coming time.

She suggested SACCI and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry strengthen collaboration and promote the exchange of ministerial-level delegations, increase information sharing about each country's legal framework, and encourage businesses from both sides to connect and participate in fairs and exhibitions. Participants showed their hope to have more opportunities to learn about the Vietnamese market.

Vice President Xuan also had a meeting with the Vietnamese Embassy staff and the Vietnamese community in the country.
