China seeks to deepen trade ties with Vietnam

Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao pledged to deepen bilateral trade ties with Vietnam during a meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in Ho Chi Minh City, China’s commerce ministry said.

Wang said China-Vietnam trade cooperation had already achieved “fruitful results” and further dealings would include strategic areas such as the digital economy, green development and cross-border ecommerce, according to a readout published late Saturday by the Chinese ministry.
