Vietnam’s garment firms look to Europe
Enterprises from Hanoi hope to find more business opportunities in the textile, garment and footwear industries in Eastern European countries in the future.
At a seminar on encouraging trade between Hanoi and the Czech Republic held in Prague on 20 August, Le Hong Thang, director of the Hanoi Industry and Trade Department, said last year Hanoi’s garment and textile export values reached US$1.6 billion, including $436 million from the European Union market.
As a result, Hanoi’s textile and garment enterprises joined an international fashion fair in Brno, the Czech Republic.
