The training workshop was also attended by officials, civil servants and employees from the industry and trade sector; representatives from district-level People's Committees and district-level economic divisions as well as industry and trade collaborators from communes and wards across the province.

At the training session, Dr. Trinh Thi Thanh Thuy, a senior researcher and former Deputy Director of Director of the Institute for Industry and Trade Strategy and Policy Research delivered an in-depth presentation on restructuring import and export activities. Dr. Trinh emphasized the importance of increasing the added value of key export sectors, optimizing supply chains and upholding opportunities from free trade agreements (FTAs). She also provided recommendations on digital transformation in trade, enhancing the competitiveness of Binh Duong's goods in international markets.

In addition to topics on import and export, the training session also covered strategies for restructuring the industrial sector towards promoting a low-carbon model and transitioning energy structures. These efforts aim at achieving Vietnam's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 as pledged at COP26.
