Vietnam's trade scale is growing rapidly, with peak year exports exceeding 371 billion USD, and it is expected that by 2024, export turnover will far exceed this figure. However, along with increased exports, our country's goods are subject to many trade defense cases from importing countries.

In recent times, Vietnam has paid special attention to strengthening economic cooperation with countries in Asia, Africa and Oceania to boost exports.

In addition, Vietnam has joined the regional supply chain, so it is often investigated jointly with other countries," the Department of Trade Defense (Ministry of Industry and Trade) explained.
