Indian Ambassador Pranay Verma was speaking at a recent webminar on global trade and investment opportunities for Indian industry in Viet Nam organised by India’s PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI).

Viet Nam and India have emerged as global trade partners due to their policy initiatives and increase in their trade and investments, he said.

Ambassador emphasised that there is a need for Viet Nam and India to take advantage of each other’s economic strength for increasing business relations between the two nations, at the same time leverage each other’s global value chains to utilise each other’s trade network.

There is also a need to look at the domestic market, especially in India that can offer growth opportunities to Viet Nam with focus on e-documentation and e-payments which help to increase business growth and foster B2B engagement, connecting MSMEs.

There is a need for structural improvement where the government and business partners need to work in sync and also improve shipping connectivity between the two nations.

There is a restructuring of the global supply chain and both nations have the capabilities to take advantage of the opportunity. With the strategic location of both nations and change in reforms, there will be an increase in trade exchange and will be a driving engine for the global economy in near future, he said.
