The Vietnamese Embassy and Vietnam’s trade office in Ukraine have recently inaugurated a new trade representative office in Kiev, Ukraine.

Ambassador Nguyen Anh Tuan (L)congratulates Ho Trung Thanh,
head of Vietnam’s trade representative office in Ukraine. 

Upon addressing the ceremony on December 17, Vietnamese Ambassador to Ukraine Nguyen Anh Tuan affirmed that the move aims to implement the amendments to the Law on Overseas-based Representative Missions of Vietnam, as previously approved at the fourth session of the 14th National Assembly on November 21, 2017.

Ambassador Tuan voiced his hope that the new trade representative office will make further contributions to promoting bilateral relations, especially co-operation in the economic and trade fields between Vietnam and Ukraine.

Ho Trung Thanh, head of Vietnam’s trade representative office in Ukraine, underlined the importance of the opening of a new trade representative office in Kiev. Indeed, the move indicates the growing demand for the development of economic and trading ties between the two countries.

Thanh noted that the new office is located right in the centre of the Ukrainian capital and is situated close to several government agencies, associations, and large companies. It is therefore hoped that the office will serve as a reliable address in order to strengthen transactions and linkages among various agencies and firms from the two countries.

The trade office is expected to further promote its role in effectively supporting businesses between the two countries, and contribute to accelerating economic and trade relations between Vietnam and Ukraine in the future.
