Pakistan and Vietnam are both growing economies, and cooperation between the two countries is essential. 巴基斯坦和越南都是发展中的经济体，两国之间的合作至关重要。
Pakistan and Vietnam are both growing economies, and cooperation between the two countries is essential. Both countries are committed to enhancing trade relations and struggling to reach an Agreement of Preferential Trade (PTA).
Pakistan and Vietnam established diplomatic relations on 8 November 1972. The relations are largely based on mutual trade and international political cooperation between the two countries. However, relations greatly warmed up in the 2000s, and Pakistan reopened its embassy in Hanoi in October 2000. Vietnam also reopened its embassy in Islamabad and trade office in Karachi in December and November 2005, respectively. Relations between the two countries have continued to remain friendly, with Vietnam expressing an interest in increased economic and military cooperation with Pakistan. The heads of both nations have, in recent times, paid official visits to each other, with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf visiting Vietnam in May 2001 and Vietnamese President Trần Đức Lương also paying an official visit to Pakistan in March 2004. Throughout the following decade, several visits were made by various Vietnamese and Pakistani ministries to each other. A major part of Pakistan’s pursuit to enhance its relationship with Vietnam is outlined in Pakistan’s “Vision East Asia” strategy. Vietnam is an active member of ASEAN, and Pakistan always tends to establish close ties with ASEAN.
Recently, Vietnam’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Mr. Pham Anh Tuan, speaking at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), revealed his country’s strong will and ensured all possible support. Pakistan is also in dire need of expanding its trade with Vietnam, and Vietnam is one of the rapidly growing economies of the region, which can assist Pakistan in reviving its economy.
Although bilateral trade reached $850 million in 2024, and was expected to cross $1 billion in 2025. But the real potential is much more than this, and the strong will from both sides will definitely bring fruit in the coming years. Both countries have set a target of 5 billion US dollars.
Vietnam is a country hard-hit by the Trump tariff and also needs to explore diversified trading partners. In fact, Trump’s tariffs have destabilized the global trading patterns, partners, routes, etc. It might affect the US itself, but on many other countries of the world, it has an adverse impact. Definitely, a few countries might be beneficiaries too. Like Pakistan, it was facing tough challenges from many other countries while exporting textile products to the US, but after Trump tariffs were imposed on some of Pakistan’s competitors, Pakistan has leverage over them in exporting textile products to the US.
Pakistan’s strengths in textiles, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals may be beneficial for Vietnam. Currently, Pakistan’s exports are corn, raw cotton, yarn, leather, pharmaceutical products, and textiles. But a huge workforce, cheaper labor, and rich natural resources may attract Vietnam. Pakistan is offering enabling environments and attractive packages for foreign investors. The establishment of SIFC to facilitate foreign investors and ease of doing business in Pakistan may become a fruitful initiative for Pakistan.
At the same time, rapid industrialization and export expertise of Vietnam are significant for Pakistan. Currently, Vietnam exports to Pakistan electrical and electronic equipment, coffee, tea, spices, and man-made filaments. But definitely it is to broaden in the near future.
Vietnam is interested in attracting Pakistani investment in its manufacturing and technology sectors, while Pakistan seeks to encourage Vietnamese investment. PTA is essential to achieve higher goals for both countries.
Trust, strong political will, and the highest-level support from both governments will enable the set target of USD 5 billion to be achieved soon. The Pakistani business community is ready and already in touch with their counterparts in Vietnam.
The aim is to improve the living standard of common people in both countries, eradicate poverty, and promote peace, stability, and prosperity mutually. Both countries can contribute to the regional and global economy. Both are peace-loving nations and cooperate in regional peace, stability, and security. It is to emphasize that the close ties are not against any third country, and there should be no concern from any other country in the region.
巴基斯坦和越南将很快签署优惠贸易协定
巴基斯坦和越南都是发展中的经济体，两国之间的合作至关重要。两国致力于加强贸易关系，努力达成优惠贸易协定（PTA）。
巴基斯坦和越南于1972年11月8日建立外交关系。两国关系主要建立在相互贸易和国际政治合作的基础上。然而，两国关系在2000年代大为升温，巴基斯坦于2000年10月重新开放了驻河内大使馆。越南也分别于2005年12月和11月重新开放了驻伊斯兰堡大使馆和驻卡拉奇贸易办事处。两国关系继续保持友好，越南表示有兴趣加强与巴基斯坦的经济和军事合作。近年来，两国元首相互进行了正式访问，巴基斯坦总统穆沙拉夫于2001年5月访问了越南，越南国家主席Trần Đức Lương也于2004年3月对巴基斯坦进行了正式访问。在随后的十年中，越南和巴基斯坦各部委多次互访。巴基斯坦的“东亚展望”战略概述了巴基斯坦寻求加强与越南关系的主要部分。越南是东盟的积极成员，巴基斯坦一直倾向于与东盟建立密切关系。
最近，越南驻巴基斯坦大使范anh Tuan先生在拉合尔工商会（LCCI）发表讲话，透露了越南的坚定意志，并确保提供一切可能的支持。巴基斯坦也迫切需要扩大与越南的贸易，越南是该地区快速增长的经济体之一，可以帮助巴基斯坦重振经济。
尽管双边贸易额在2024年达到8.5亿美元，预计到2025年将超过10亿美元。但真正的潜力远不止于此，双方的坚定意志一定会在未来几年结出硕果。两国都设定了50亿美元的目标。
越南是受特朗普关税打击严重的国家，也需要探索多元化的贸易伙伴。事实上，特朗普的关税已经破坏了全球贸易格局、伙伴、路线等的稳定。它可能会影响美国本身，但对世界上许多其他国家来说，它会产生不利影响。当然，一些国家也可能受益。像巴基斯坦一样，巴基斯坦在向美国出口纺织品时面临着来自许多其他国家的严峻挑战，但在特朗普对巴基斯坦的一些竞争对手征收关税后，巴基斯坦在向美国出口纺织品方面拥有了对他们的影响力。
巴基斯坦在纺织、农业和制药方面的优势可能对越南有利。目前，巴基斯坦的出口产品有玉米、原棉、纱线、皮革、医药产品和纺织品。但庞大的劳动力、廉价的劳动力和丰富的自然资源可能会吸引越南。巴基斯坦正在为外国投资者提供有利的环境和有吸引力的待遇。设立SIFC以便利外国投资者和在巴基斯坦经商的便利，对巴基斯坦来说可能是一项富有成果的倡议。
与此同时，越南的快速工业化和出口专业知识对巴基斯坦具有重要意义。目前，越南向巴基斯坦出口电气和电子设备、咖啡、茶叶、香料和人造细丝。但在不久的将来，它肯定会扩大。
越南有兴趣吸引巴基斯坦在其制造业和技术领域的投资，而巴基斯坦则寻求鼓励越南投资。优惠贸易区对两国实现更高目标至关重要。
信任、强烈的政治意愿以及两国政府的最高级别支持将使50亿美元的既定目标早日实现。巴基斯坦工商界已做好准备，并已与越南工商界保持联系。
目的是提高两国人民的生活水平，消除贫困，共同促进和平、稳定与繁荣。两国都能为地区和全球经济做出贡献。两国都是爱好和平的国家，在维护地区和平、稳定与安全方面进行合作。
