The message was highlighted at the Jordan-Vietnam Business Forum in Hanoi on Thursday. King Abdullah II of Jordan and Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son attended the event.

The forum gathered 120 Vietnamese and 25 Jordanian businesses operating in information technology, infrastructure, digital transformation, agriculture, veterinary services, and Halal products. Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son pointed out several key issues to make bilateral economic cooperation more substantive and effective.

“First, we need to swiftly translate the agreements reached during the King’s visit into feasible programs and promptly implement them. We should organize more exchanges at all levels, especially business delegations, to explore markets and expand networks of partners. Second, it’s necessary to establish new cooperative frameworks to create institutional foundations for stronger economic collaboration. And last, we should co-organize trade, investment, and tourism promotion activities and share information about markets, partners, and products to better understand the other’s demand, potential, cooperation opportunities, and consumer trends,” said Son.

King Abdullah II said that with Jordan’s strategic location, its network of free trade agreements, and Vietnam’s dynamic development, the two countries can create an economic bridge connecting Southeast Asia with Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He urged the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of both nations to play a central role in turning dialogues into concrete actions, making the private sector a key driving force in ushering in a new phase of cooperation between Vietnam and Jordan.
