Hanoi (VNA) – In the recent three years after theComprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) tookeffect, trade revenue between Vietnam and other member countries hasseen two-digit growth every year, said Director of the Multilateral TradePolicy Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) Luong HoangThai.
Statistics show that in the first 10 months of 2022, total trade turnover between Vietnam and CPTPP members reached 88.1 billion USD, an increase of about 19.2% over thesame period last year, with Vietnam’s exports hitting 45.1 billion USD, up22.1% year on year, Thai said at a conference in Hanoi on December 26 to reviewthree-year implementation of the deal.
Impressive growth has been recorded in the import-export revenuebetween Vietnam and CPTPP countries that have yet to sign a free trade agreement(FTA) with Vietnam, including Canada and Mexico, he noted.

High requirements on products’ quality and food safety inthose markets have also been another challenge for Vietnamese exporters.
Hoan said that the MoIT will continue to work withministries, sectors and localities to support domestic businesses in dealingwith difficulties facing them during the exploitation of the deal, while assistingthem in improving their competitiveness to ensure that they are on the same footing with FDI firms.
