8 ASEAN We are family ASEAN 50 Leaders agreed this year 2017 to further promote the Master Plan for connectivity and Work Program for ASEAN Integration Initiative period and support Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam to reduce development gap as againts Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore

9 Vietnam-Spain: 40 aniversario For the year 2016, in the context of constant growth during recent years, bilateral trade volume reached million Euros, of which million Euros correspond to Vietnamese exports to Spain and 387 million Euros are Spanish exports to Vietnam. Among ASEAN countries, Vietnam is by far the country having the most important bilateral trade with Spain, especially in terms of the exportation of Vietnam. 9

10 IMPORTATIONS OF SPAIN FROM VIETNAM IN 2016 No Products Millions Euros 1 ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT CLOTHING AND TEXTILES FOOTWEAR COFFEE, TEA, AND SPICE MACHINERY AND MECHANICAL APPLIANCES FISH, CRUSTACEANS, MOLLUSCS FURNITURE, CHAIRS, LAMPS LEATHER AND LEATHER PRODUCTS CANNED MEAT OR FISH PLASTICS PRODUCTS OPTICS, MEASUREMENT.

12 INVESTMENT OF SPAIN IN VIETNAM But this investment does not include the investment of Repsol after its acquisition of Talisman Group (Canada) since The presence of Repsol in the oil and gas sector in Vietnam is accounting for some billions of Euros. Several Spanish companies in the clothing/textiles sector make their production in Vietnam but do not have a direct presence in the country. Spain's investment in Vietnam is still very small. At the end of 2016, Spain ranks number 59 among 110 countries having investment in Vietnam, with 49 projects and total investment capitals reaching 38.6 million Euros. 12

13 TOURISM The number of Spanish tourists visiting Vietnam in recent years grows progressively, reaching 33,183 visitors in 2013, 40,716 in 2014, more than 45,000 in 2015 and more than 60,000 in 2016, according to the statistics of Vietnam National Tourism Agency (VNAT) ). In the medium and long term, a strong increase should be expected. 13

14 Vietnam Spain : 40 aniversario Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of Foreign Affairs visited Spain 23-24/5/2017 Bilateral cooperation: set to inaugurate by end of 2017 Joint Commission on Economic cooperation Target set for 2020: 5 bn USD of twoway trade volume (now standing at around 3 bn USD)

27 The way forward Last month, during the official visit to Spain by Vietnam Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mr. Pham Binh Minh, a Vietnam-Spain Business Forum was organized in Madrid with the participation of over 100 businessmen and enterprises of the two countries. The two sides exchanged opportunities for cooperation in a number of potential areas such as infrastructure, renewable energy, agro-processing, waste treatment, tourism, etc. These sectors are the ones that Spanish companies have many advantages and Vietnam are in the need of cooperation. The potential of bilateral economic cooperation is very big in coming years, especially when the FTA Vietnam-EU come into force (hopefully by 2018).
