ISLAMABAD: Vietnam Ambassador to Pakistan, Nguyen Tien Phong on Sunday urged for increasing the bilateral trade volume between Pakistan and Vietnam up to $1 billion in the next two years. “The two countries have great potential to increase bilateral trade, which is being discussed on both sides,” the Vietnamese ambassador said. The envoy said that the main reason for the decline in bilateral trade volume between the two countries, apart from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, was a lack of mutual awareness between enterprises of the two sides. He said that in the meeting would discuss bilateral trade and investment, the PTA and also the agreement on investment promotion protection. He said that after signing of the PTA, talks on the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) are also expected.
