Vietnam - Francophone High-Level Economic Forum 2022

The Vietnam - Francophone Economic Forum 2025 is expected to be attended by Ms. Tran Thi Lan Anh, Secretary General of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), Mr. Edgard Doerig, Representative for the Asia-Pacific region of the International Organization of the Francophone (OIF), and

representatives of agencies, international organizations, business associations, and enterprises from Vietnam and French-speaking countries.

The forum aims to create a space for exchange and connection between Vietnamese enterprises and the business community in the Francophone bloc, especially in Africa, which is emerging as a potential market with great demand for investment, agriculture, infrastructure, trade and technology.

At the forum, delegates will discuss the advantages and difficulties in promoting business cooperation between Vietnamese enterprises and French-speaking international partners.

In addition to cultural advantages, long-standing cooperation traditions and support from Francophone development organizations, many Vietnamese enterprises still face language barriers, legal differences and lack of market information.

Therefore, the forum is expected to contribute to removing bottlenecks and opening new directions for bilateral and multilateral investment cooperation.

Enterprises will also participate in the B2B Meeting program with Francophone partners. This is a practical opportunity for the parties to learn about needs, connect supply chains, exchange experiences and sign memorandums of understanding (MOUs) in many fields such as agricultural products, food processing, renewable energy, education, healthcare and tourism.

The Vietnam-Francophone Economic Forum 2025 promises to be an important bridge to promote comprehensive economic partnership between Vietnam and countries in the Francophone space, contributing to affirming Vietnam's position as a dynamic economic cooperation center of Southeast Asia in the international French-speaking community.
