Talking with President of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) Pham Tan Cong, Ambassador of Rumania Cristina Romila said that she took office in Vietnam in April 2021 and wished to continue to promote the relations between the two countries.

Ambassador Cristina Romila appreciated the fine cooperation between the two countries. In particular, in 2020, Vietnam and Romania celebrated the 70th anniversary of bilateral relations. The two sides have signed many cooperation agreements and exchanged many high-level delegations. Vietnam is currently the second-largest partner of Romania in ASEAN and is one of Romanian's important partners in the Asia Pacific region.

In the past three years, trade turnover between the two countries has been positive but still shy with the potential and expectations of the governments on both sides. Therefore, the Romanian Ambassador said that this is a good time to further promote cooperation between the two sides as the EVFTA and EVIPA have been signed.

Romanian Ambassador Cristina Romila requested VCCI to introduce reliable business partners to Romanian businesses. Romanian enterprises have strengths in the food industry (pork export), information technology, and robot production.

Agreeing with the opinion of the Romanian Ambassador, VCCI President Pham Tan Cong said that Vietnam and Romania have developed a nice relationship and to promote business cooperation between the two sides, VCCI President Pham Tan Cong suggested that the two sides need to further strengthen the exchange of information between VCCI and the Embassy to enhance business connectivity. “VCCI is always willing to cooperate with the Embassy to introduce partners to Romanian businesses,” emphasized VCCI President Pham Tan Cong.
