Business leaders meet to discuss boosting trade with Vietnam Vietnam Ambassador Truong Manh Son sat down on February 7 with many of the top business leaders in the Czech Republic to discuss ways of opening new opportunities for commercial trade. At the meeting in Prague, Ambassador Son explained there are many prospects that will flow from the Vietnam-EU free trade agreement that is expected to come into force as early as 2018.    The trade pact will remove onerous tariffs that hinder overseas trade and present numerous openings for small and medium-sized businesses in both economies to grow and create jobs, noted Ambassador Son. He encouraged Czech leaders to explore new market opportunities in Vietnam, noting in particular, the agriculture, aquaculture and manufacturing opportunities in the electronics supply chain. VOV
