Vietnamese, Chinese women entrepreneurs meet in Beijing

The Vietnam-China Women Entrepreneurs friendship exchange took place in Beijing on November 29 with the participation of more than 100 delegates.

The get-together, the second of its kind, was initiated and organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in China, aiming to boost mutual understanding and cooperation among women of both countries as well as traditional friendship between the two peoples.

President of the Vietnam Women Entrepreneurs Council (VWEC) Tran Thi Thuy said China is one of Vietnam’s leading trade partners and ranks third in Vietnam’s export markets, after the US and Japan.

Two-way trade has so far exceeded US$28 billion this year, a year-on-year rise of 40 percent, with positive signs recorded in preferential credits investment.

Thuy affirmed that the council will coordinate with relevant agencies to help the two countries’ women entrepreneurs and the business community to meet and exchange experiences to promote economic, trade and investment cooperation and scientific and technological transfer.

Sharing the same view, the Vice President of the China Association of Women Entrepreneurs (CAWE) Long Jiangwen affirmed that CAWE and VWEC will develop closer ties and bring into play their active role in accelerating socio-economic development in their respective countries and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnamese and Chinese women.
