(ĐN)- On April 23, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc presided over an online meeting with provinces and cities nationwide to discuss comprehensive measures to boost exports.
Vietnam’s export turnover hit US$214 billion in 2017, up 21.2 percent compared with 2016, representing the largest figure recorded so far.
In the first quarter of this year, the country’s total export value reached US$54.31 billion, a year-on-year increase of 22 percent.
At the meeting, leaders of localities and ministers were required to look towards export to contribute to sustainable growth. PM Phuc expressed his wish to listen to policy feedback of localities and associations to increase added value of exported commodities, thus making it easier for Vietnamese firms to join the global value chain. He also underscored the need to update Vietnamese exporters about market information and legal regulations abroad, opportunities and risks, and orientations to manufacturing and exports.
Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh said further efforts should be made to sustainably step up exports, maintain stable export markets, and improve the efficiency of trade promotion.
Dong Nai is among the country's top five leading localities in export revenue. In 2017, the province’s trade surplus hit a record high of US$2.2 billion, accounting for 80 percent of the country’s trade surplus
