Promoting Vietnam's export of goods to ASEAN since the country joined the ASEAN Economic Community

ASEAN is a market that has many advantages and great potential for Vietnam's export goods. Since Vietnam joined the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), Vietnam's export of goods to ASEAN has achieved many remarkable results, but the ability to expand and innovate export products is not high. To take advantage of the AEC, it is necessary for Vietnamese businesses to promote inherent advantages and improve competitiveness to promote the export of goods to ASEAN. By using secondary data collected from the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s import-export reports, this paper analyzed and evaluated Vietnam's current exports of goods to ASEAN since the country joined the AEC at the end of 2015. The paper pointed out limitations and proposed some solutions to promote Vietnam’s export of goods to ASEAN in the coming time.
