Trade Counsellor Vo Thi Ngoc Diep noted that the Netherlands is currently Vietnam’s largest European investor and second-largest export market. Vietnam is one of the Netherlands' top Asian trading partners and among its 20 largest goods suppliers. As the logistics hub of Europe, the Netherlands plays a crucial role as an entry point for Vietnamese exports into the EU market.
Under the EVFTA roadmap, Vietnamese goods will continue to gain a competitive edge over similar products from other Asian countries. Therefore, Vietnamese businesses must comply with market regulations when exporting to the Netherlands, ensuring green and clean production standards while minimizing environmental impact, said the Trade Office.
