The Ministry of Industry and Trade said the two-way trade between Vietnam and Brunei rose three-fold from 24.2 million USD in 2010 to 73.7 million USD in 2015. Vietnam mostly exports seafood and rice to Brunei and imports chemicals.
The bilateral trade reached 17 million USD in the first six months of this year. Of which, Vietnam exported 8.4 million USD worth of goods to the market, and spent 8.7 million USD chiefly importing chemicals.
According to the Vietnam Trade Office in Brunei, both countries share similar views on regional and international issues, creating a premise for the two sides to enhance cooperative ties.
Besides, as members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Vietnam and Brunei have actively and proactively got engaged in ASEAN cooperation fields such as defining the bloc’s future development orientations and outlining major policies.
The two nations have held high-level delegation exchanges such as the visit to Brunei by President Tran Duc Luong in 2001 and by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in 2007. Brunei King Hassanal Bolkiah visited Vietnam to attend ASEAN, ASEM and APEC conferences in 1998, 2004, and 2006.
Vietnam and Brunei have signed a double taxation avoidance agreement, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on sports and youths collaboration, and another on oil and gas cooperation, creating legal foundations for the bilateral partnership in the fields.
The two countries are expected to secure a cooperation agreement in cultivation and seafood farming soon.
