Improving access to each other's markets
The Vietnamese side said current economic ties remained below their potential. Proposals included sharing import and export requirements, arranging business visits, attending specialist trade fairs and connecting importers with distributors. Georgia's location was identified as a possible route towards South Caucasus and European markets.
Nadareishvili highlighted manufacturing, logistics infrastructure, renewable energy, tourism and information technology. Both sides agreed to maintain communication and address obstacles affecting economic and trade cooperation.
Business meetings, rather than completed contracts
Vietnamese participants included Mareven Food Central, Vingroup, ROX Group, Sovico Group and F5 Travel. Twenty-five Georgian businesses represented sectors including industrial parks, logistics, food, electronics, construction and services. They presented their capabilities and held direct B2B discussions to identify potential partners.
The ministry cited customs data putting bilateral trade at US$94 million in 2025, including US$92.7 million of Vietnamese exports. Trade reached US$49.05 million in the first eight months of 2026, comprising US$46.91 million in exports and US$2.14 million in imports. Vietnam's main products included electronics, phones, coffee and cashews. Officials called for continued support to turn the discussions into projects and commercial results; the account did not announce signed deals or funds received.
