London – There is plenty of room available for Vietnamese goods to enter the UK market, said Thai Tran, Managing Director of TT Meridian, an international logistics and trading company specialising in the UK and Vietnam markets and the first Vietnamese business in the UK to open an all-cargo air route between the nations via Turkmenistan.

According to the business leader, despite the COVID-19 pandemic and the global recession, trade exchange between countries has grown rapidly in recent times.

Data from the UK Department for Business and Trade showed that Vietnam’s export turnover of goods and services to the UK reached 5.9 billion EUR (6.33 billion USD) in 2022, an annual increase of 30.3 %. Vietnam is currently the UK’s second-largest trading partner in Southeast Asia and the 40th largest in the world, accounting for 0.4% of the UK’s total trade value.

Thai Tran said these encouraging figures have yet to reflect the sides’ true potential, meaning that Vietnam needs to capitalise on market opportunities available in the UK and the current period of the nations’ fruitful relationship.

He made a number of recommendations for Vietnamese firms to boost their exports to the UK market, and suggested they offer more competitive prices, obtain environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-related certificates, and apply technologies for improved information transparency, document standardisation, and cost reduction./.

The event is expected to create more cooperation opportunities for businesses
from both nations in the context that the global economy is facing a gloomy outlook,
he said, adding Zhejiang province – an important gateway in China’s eastern
region has an important role to play in the Vietnam – China trade, with Vietnam
– Zhejiang trade revenue accounting for 10% of the total trade between
the two nations in 2022.

China’s Masterwork Group, which has joined the annual exhibition for the first time, is using the event to showcase its folding and gluing machines, as well as other products.
