Vietnam trade expansion in Middle East and Africa
Overview
Vietnam is actively pursuing increased trade and economic cooperation across the Middle East and North Africa. In Tunisia, bilateral trade turnover reached $59.43 million in the first nine months of 2026, representing a 9.7% increase over the previous year. This growth is supported by Tunisian demand for Vietnamese agricultural goods, industrial products, and raw materials. Recent regulatory changes in Tunisia, specifically the implementation of Law No. 120, are expected to expand market access for Vietnamese exporters by allowing private enterprises to import essential commodities previously managed through international tenders.
Simultaneously, Vietnam is targeting Lebanon to drive economic growth. During the Vietnam-Lebanon Business Forum, representatives from over 50 Lebanese companies discussed investment opportunities and market access. Diplomatic efforts to strengthen these ties included the presentation of credentials by the Vietnamese Ambassador to Lebanon and meetings with various Lebanese government agencies and trade promotion organizations.
