Trade Scenario Between Bangladesh and Vietnam

Trade Scenario Between Bangladesh and Vietnam

Trade Agreement between the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam was signed on 24 September 1996. The bilateral relationship between Vietnam and Bangladesh is excellent and both countries are looking at the same future of mutual cooperation and development, a huge potential of cooperation between the two countries in the economic field to improve and strengthen the economic relationship and people to people tie. Bangladesh and Vietnam want to work closely to double the bilateral trade volume from around $1.0 billion to $2.0 billion by 2021. The two countries held the second meeting of the Joint Trade Committee (JTC) in Hanoi in 2019 and discussed ways to double the bilateral trade volume. The two countries identified 11 priority areas including agricultural trade and pharmaceutical exports from Bangladesh to Vietnam. Vietnamese investment in Bangladesh’s Special Economic Zones, ICT sector cooperation, bilateral cooperation in textile and garments sector, trade in Halal products, trade in software services, direct air link, promotion of trade in jute and jute goods, banking sector cooperation and tourism sector cooperation (including Buddhist tourism) are the potential area. Bangladesh may import quality rice from Vietnam in accordance to the existing MoU on rice import. Both sides recognized the high potential of tourism sector to flourish and in that respect viewed that direct air link between the two countries can hugely contribute. Bangladesh-Vietnam bilateral trade relations are still small but are growing in a positive direction. Vietnamese exports to Bangladesh mainly consist of items such as fabric, plastic products, rattan products, bamboo products, sea grass rugs, rubber, computers, electronic products, wooden products, ceramic, and porcelain, according to the website of Vietnamese Embassy. Bangladesh's exports to Vietnam, on the other hand, include pharmaceuticals, fabrics, textile raw materials, leather, fiber types, machinery, appliances and parts, electronic components, and fertilizer.
