BUSINESS IN BRIEF 19/2Australian state invites Vietnamese investorsThe Australia Vietnam Business Council (AVBC) and Canberra University recently held a workshop in Sydney to call on Vietnamese businesses to make investment in Australia’s New South Wales. President and founder of the AVBC Laurence Strano said the programme aims to encourage Vietnamese enterprises to do business in New South Wales. Vietnamese farmers and cooperatives should keep the trust of customers and think of long-term business and farming targets. In 2016, Vietnam produced around 400,000 cars, while its neighbors Thailand and Indonesia made 2.3 million and 1.5 million cars, respectively, according to EU-ASEAN Business Council. Vietnam agreed to import RoK strawberries in 2016 after years of negotiation on quarantine issues between the two sides.
