The Vietnamese Government officially announced the Decision 1968/QD-TTG on 22 November 2021 to “Promote the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) and digitalization in trade promotion activities period 2021-2030”. VIETRADE is one of the agencies to implement measures and support businesses and associations in Vietnam in that regard. The workshop aimed to inform and consultat with relevant stakeholders to develop and disseminate the DECOBIZ.
