The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam and Amazon Global Selling have agreed to implement their coordination plan from now to 2021, focusing on promoting global export via e-commerce, developing brands on Amazon, and providing e-commerce training programmes for Vietnamese enterprises.

Through the global export via e-commerce programme, as many as 100 Vietnamese businesses featuring products with high potential have been provided with skills training courses, direct consultation support, connections to support service networks designed specifically for the programme.
