The move is aimed at enhancing traceability and reaffirming the country’s transparency in building and promoting a fair, reliable global trading system.
The Vietnamese delegation included representatives from the Agency of Foreign Trade under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), who joined online from Hanoi, and officials from Vietnam’s Permanent Mission to the WTO, who attended the session in person.
Vietnam also notified the list of authorised C/O-issuing bodies to ensure transparency for trading partners and to demonstrate its commitment to cooperation with other WTO members, according to domestic news agency.
C/O issuance is now conducted by the MoIT’s Agency of Foreign Trade and by organisations designated by provincial People’s Committees.
The adoption of QR codes in C/O issuance also helps promote digital transformation, technological innovation and scientific advancement.
