The ministry praised local enterprises especially garment and textile ones for having weathered heavy impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, working hard very early to persistently maintain production, and promptly finalize contracts on schedules.
The ministry also attributed the “miracle” outcomes to positive momentums from FTAs, especially the trade deals inked with Canada, Mexico, the EU, and the UK.
