According to Thet Win, in recent years, Vietnamese products have become increasingly popular in the Myanmar market. This shows the great potential for cooperation between Vietnamese and Myanmar businesses. Therefore, the Myanmar - Viet Nam Friendship Association working group gathers many business representatives in diverse fields: pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, coffee, tourism, energy, infrastructure, human resources... Myanmar businesses want to connect, exchange experiences, and cooperate with Vietnamese partners.
Thet Win said Viet Nam is Myanmar's important partner. Overcoming domestic difficulties, in 2024, the Myanmar - Viet Nam Friendship Association will continue to promote cooperation with Vietnamese partners.
Phan Anh Son, President of the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations, said: Viet Nam and Myanmar have the potential for cooperation in many fields. Over the past years, Viet Nam has strengthened its friendship and cooperation with Myanmar, while respecting the principle of not intervening in each other's internal affairs. Currently, many big Vietnamese enterprises are investing and doing business in Myanmar such as Viet Nam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), Military Industry and Telecoms Group (Viettel), Truong Hai Group Corporation (Thaco)…
Phan Anh Son hopes to promote delegation exchange between the two countries. The Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations and the Viet Nam - Myanmar Friendship Association will continue to maintain cooperation, ready to be a bridge to support the Myanmar - Viet Nam Friendship Association in organizing working groups and connecting with Vietnamese partners.
