At the event, WTO member countries discuss nine new Specific Trade Concerns (STCs) and review 53 prior issues tied to regulations on various products like electronics, food, toys, Halal products, footwear, apparel, and wooden furniture.
The Vietnamese delegation, comprising representatives from the Vietnam TBT Office and the Vietnam Mission to Geneva, is closely tracking all STCs, with a keen interest on rules impacting Vietnam’s key and potential exports.
It also gathers valuable insights from other WTO members on food traceability standards, carbon removal regulations, legal cooperation in food packaging, and medical device regulations.
Speaking to the Vietnam News Agency’s correspondents on the sidelines, Deputy Head of Vietnam’s Permanent Mission to Geneva and Minister Counselor Pham Quang Huy reaffirmed Vietnam’s commitment to fully complying with WTO obligations, valuing transparency in technical measures and its collaboration with the international community to remove unnecessary trade hurdles.
Since joining the WTO in 2007, Vietnam has strictly followed the TBT Agreement within its national legal framework, he said.
During the session, the Vietnamese delegation provided updates, answered technical inquiries, and promoted its role in supporting Vietnamese regulatory agencies and businesses by ensuring their timely access to latest technical regulations from WTO member countries, thereby helping strengthen compliance and competitiveness in the global market.
These contributions and commitments underscore Vietnam’s role as a responsible WTO member, proactively promoting the transparency and effectiveness of the multilateral trading system, he said./.
