Vietnam's export turnover surpasses target

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has also forecast the country's total import-export turnover to amount to 667.5 billion USD, up 22.4% from last year.

One factor that's been integral to achieving these trade results has been the effective implementation of free trade agreements.

Vietnam's exports to Canada and Mexico, two markets that the country has signed FTAs with, have continued to post two-digit growth.
