Vietnamese ambassadors to meet local businesses

The official said the event, to be held next month, will be a forum for about 200 local businesses and

35 overseas-based government officials to discuss issues in international markets and demands of local businesses.

Vietnamese diplomatic offices play a key role in the government’s efforts to boost trade and for local businesses to expand their operation abroad.

The global economic recession has impacted on Vietnam’s economy and the operation of local businesses, whose leaders say they want to better understand the international situation in order to restore exports to previous levels.
