In a bid to promote exports in the remaining months of the year, the Hà Nội People’s Committee will focus on measures to promote trade, organise exhibitions, and establish trade connections between export-import businesses and domestic and international partners.
It will support enterprises by offering training programmes and consultancy on export-import processes and assist them in exploring markets and customers.
The municipal People’s Committee has directed the Department of Industry and Trade and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to focus on improving the quality of goods, particularly items under the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme, to enhance competitiveness as well as encouraging the production of high-value, high-quality products to meet export demands.
In its long-term strategy, the city’s authorities underlined the need to strengthen international cooperation, establish partnerships with international trade organisations and associations to expand export markets, and participate in free trade agreements to leverage tariff advantages.
Furthermore, Hà Nội is intensifying efforts to improve the logistics system and transport infrastructure to reduce shipping costs and enhance export-import efficiency.
