MARCH 2021

Last Friday 12 March 2021, EuroCham’s Central Chapter Delegate Mr José Sánchez-Barroso attended a conference "Diplomacy and Economy 2016/2020" organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam and the Da Nang People's Committee.

At the event, he delivered a speech as a Delegate of EuroCham and Vice-Consul of Spain. He highlighted the successful achievements in the period 2016/2020, where there has been a considerable increase in foreign direct investment in the region.

He also advised Vietnam and the Da Nang People's Committee to develop economic growth based on an increase in relations with Europe. This will help to balance the distribution of economic markets, since Europe is the second-largest market in the world. The continent is also home to 200 of the 500 largest companies in the world. And, with a population of close to 500 million people, has high purchasing power.

Jose was honoured to sit with the Vietnamese Ambassador to the European Union, and took this chance to discuss the EU and EuroCham's role as a bridge for investors to Vietnam.
