Vietnam seeks ways to expand exports to halal market

Seafood is one of Vietnam's major exports. However, experts note that export potential between Ho Chi Minh City and Middle Eastern markets remains underexploited.

The global economy is facing mounting uncertainties, as rising tariff tensions and growing trade protectionism put pressure on highly open economies such as Vietnam.
