On 18 October 2026, the Vietnam - EFTA Free Trade Agreement (VEFTA) was signed between Vietnam and the four member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), namely Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. The Agreement is expected to create new opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to access markets with high purchasing power, expand exports, diversify supply sources, and strengthen trade and investment cooperation with EFTA partners.
To provide businesses with essential information on the key commitments under VEFTA, particularly preferential tariffs and rules of origin, and to help them identify opportunities and challenges, develop proactive business strategies, and effectively leverage the Agreement, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), in cooperation with relevant government agencies and ministries, is organizing the following conference:
