Progress in free-trade talks between the European Union and Vietnam may trigger a resurgence of investment in the Southeast Asian nation from companies within the 27-nation bloc, the EU’s top representative in Vietnam said.
Early headway in negotiations would boost interest in Vietnam even before an accord is signed, Ambassador Franz Jessen, head of the European Union delegation to Vietnam, said in an interview. Vietnam’s Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang is scheduled to meet EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht in Brussels today to announce the negotiations, he said.
