Integration presents opportunities

Many of them are new generation FTAs with higher criteria, reflecting Vietnam’s increasingly strong and comprehensive integration process. Along with many positive macro-economic signs, the country will need to make the most of the development opportunities presented.

Enhancing the competitiveness of domestic enterprises is the only way for Vietnam to avoid possible pitfalls associated with free trade and continue its road to global integration.
