Vietnam is currently the largest trade partner of Canada in ASEAN, said Ambassador Ping Kitnikone, asserting that Canada will promote cooperation with Viet Nam in such areas as economics, trade and investment and raise the two-way trade turnover to meet the expectation of the PM in the future.

Canada is willing to address Vietnam’s challenges in fields of climate change adaption and food safety, she said, adding that a Canadian business delegation in aerospace will pay a working visit to Viet Nam in the upcoming time.

At present, around 5,000 Vietnamese students are living and studying in Vietnam. Canada organized Canada Education Fairs in Ho Chi Minh City, which attracted the participation of nearly 100 high schools and universities.
