In panel discussions, domestic and international speakers analyzed numerous challenges posed by an economic situation fraught with risks and uncertainties, coupled with the growing trend of green and sustainable trade standards. They issued timely warnings and recommended practical solutions.
Mr. Tran Viet Hoang, Director of Energy and Greenhouse Gas Products, shared assessments of Vietnamese businesses' readiness and adaptability to new EU requirements. Notably, mechanisms such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) will significantly impact bilateral trade and investment. He also provided necessary recommendations for businesses to transition to green and sustainable development, as well as solutions to address the increasing number of trade defense measures.
