On September 18, Dung delivered a speech to the Vietnamese Entrepreneurs’ Forum in Russia themed «Prospect of Vietnam-Russia Cooperation in the context of Vietnam-Eurasian Free Trade Agreement», saying that the reduction of half of tariffs to 0% and trade facilitation terms would open up chances for Vietnam and member states to promote trade, investment and services.
