Why Vietnam?

This positive growth is the result of a policy of international openness. This can be seen in Vietnam's accession to ASEAN in 1995 and then to the WTO in 2007. The country has also signed a range of bilateral treaties, including a free trade agreement with the European Union. This is the most ambitious trade treaty the EU has ever signed with a developing country. It will eventually eliminate 99 per cent of customs duties on goods between the two parties.

France shares a complex and vibrant history with Vietnam. While trade between our two countries focuses on a few key sectors (aeronautics, pharmaceuticals, and agri-food to Vietnam and electronics and textiles to France), many French companies have chosen to set-up in Vietnam for its domestic market and/or to support their regional development.

Indeed, Vietnam benefits from an ideal strategic location in the heart of ASEAN, close to major Asian markets. Its coastline, with direct access to the world's main maritime routes, offers favourable conditions for trade.

All this makes Vietnam a land of opportunities and investments, provided you are familiar with local business practices and a constantly evolving legal framework.
