At the meeting, the signing ceremony of the Agreement on Cooperation between the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce and Industry took place The event continued with B2B meetings. In the course of free communication, Vietnamese companies expressed a desire to participate in the Global Rus Trade project. The team interviewed exporters and importers of Vietnam, during which it was discovered that many companies already use e-commerce channels, but not all of them provide an opportunity to enter the Russian market and interact with Russian enterprises. In addition, many existing marketplaces have a complex interface and functionality, which makes it difficult to use them. Improving the marketplace GlobalRusTrade.com aims to take into account the views of foreign partners.
