Strengthening EU-Vietnam Ties:
As the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) nears its fifth anniversary, the Whitebook underscores its impact—EU-Vietnam trade grew 16% in 2024, surpassing $68 billion. EuroCham Chairman Bruno Jaspaert highlighted Vietnam’s “bamboo diplomacy” as key to building long-term economic alliances, urging policymakers to act swiftly to leverage Vietnam’s strategic position as an EU gateway to ASEAN
Call to Action:
Despite challenges like geopolitical volatility and newly imposed U.S. tariffs, EuroCham remains optimistic. The Whitebook serves as a practical toolkit for Vietnamese policymakers and businesses to address inefficiencies, boost investor confidence, and ensure sustainable prosperity.
