(VOVworld) – Vietnam and Norway both see that more opportunities for business cooperation are emerging, especially when the free trade agreement is signed between Vietnam and the European Free Trade Association. The Association comprises Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. The statement was made by Vietnamese Ambassador to Norway Le Thi Tuyet Mai at a workshop jointly organized this week by the Vietnamese Embassy in Norway and the Oslo Chamber of Commerce to discuss Vietnam’s investment opportunities. The workshop attracted businesses from the northern port province of Hai Phong, Ben Thanh group from Ho Chi Minh city, and 30 Norwegian businesses.
Several Norwegian companies, such as ORKLA ASA, EWOS Group, and SN Power, shared their experience and anticipated challenges in operating in Vietnam. They considered Vietnam a promising destination for Norwegian companies in Southeast Asia and acts as an entry point for them to penetrate the ASEAN market.
