Addressing the opening ceremony, CAME President Fabian Tarrio highlighted the potential for trade exchanges between Argentina and Vietnam, expressing his hope that the Confederation will become a bridge to connect the two sides’ enterprises, contributing to raising their bilateral trade value. Vietnamese Ambassador Dang Xuan Dung suggested the two sides play a more active role in the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and South America’s Trade Bloc MERCOSUR, in order to help each other enter the market in those two regions. The event witnessed the signing of several contracts between the two nations’ enterprises, mostly in wood materials and animal feed. Numerous local companies have showed interests in Vietnamese textiles, coffee and light bulb exports.
