EuroCham statement on Vietnam’s adoption of ILO convention 98

Vietnam's adoption of Convention 98 has received a warm response from the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham)

This is a positive step, and one which will send a strong signal to Europe at a critical juncture of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement's (EVFTA) ratification process", Nicolas Audier, chairman of EuroCham in Vietnam, told VIR.
