Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son has affirmed the success of State President Luong Cuong’s attendance at the 2024 APEC Economic Leaders’ Week as well as his official visits to Chile and Peru.
Chile is the first country in South America to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam (March 25, 1971). Over the recent times, the trade relations between the two countries have grown impressively, achieving positive results. Chile is now Vietnam's fourth-largest trading partner in Latin America, while Vietnam is Chile's largest trading partner in ASEAN.
Outgoing Ambassador of Chile to Vietnam Claudio Andres De Negri Quintana has been honoured with the “For Peace and Friendship among Nations” insignia of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations.
Thousands of goods items will enjoy a zero percent import tariff in 2018 in line with Vietnam’s commitments on special preferential import duty rates within the framework of 10 free trade agreements (FTA).
