The 76th anniversary of the Independence Day of Israel (May 14, 1948 - 2024) was celebrated at a ceremony held in Ho Chi Minh City by the Israeli Embassy in Vietnam on June 18.

Israeli businesses expressed their interest in seeking more goods supply sources from Vietnam to meet the demand of domestic consumers at a trade promotion and business connection event in Tel Aviv on June 4.

Vietnam recorded a trade deficit of 101.4 million USD with Israel in the first five months of this year due to declines in the export of key commodities and the resumed import of items of high value.

Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue has affirmed that Vietnam always opens doors for Israeli businesses and supports them to access its 90-million strong market, over-600-million ASEAN market, and other countries that have established trade ties with Vietnam.
