HÀ NỘI – Minister of Industry and Trade (MoIT) Trần Tuấn Anh said the ministry planned to establish a trade defence department to safeguard the interests of businesses in the context of global integration. Accordingly, the department would help the minister implement State management functions on trade defence, contributing to launching legal regulations on the issue effectively. The minister said the establishment of a department specialising in trade defence was necessary in the context of global integration to response to unexpected changes in international trade and the region. In particular, the number of investigations on trade defence has been on the rise. One of the tools to ensure legal rights and benefits to domestic producers against pressure of imported goods was anti-dumping, anti-subsidies and defence, he added.
