Ha Noi (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has asked trade councillors in Vietnamese embassies worldwide to work harder to promote Viet Nam’s export.

Addressing a conference for overseas-based trade councillors held in Ha Noi on February 20, PM Dung spoke highly of the contributions made by trade councillors to the country’s achievements in 2007.

However, he stressed that more should be done to address the increased trade deficit and increase the value of export items.

He said to achieve the target of 59 billion USD in export revenues in 2008, the trade councillors should help domestic businesses in expanding their outlets overseas and overcoming trade barriers.-Enditem
