This activity aims to provide a reliable source and affirm Vietnam's transparency in building and promoting global trade.

According to VNA, the Vietnamese delegation attending the meeting included representatives of the Import-Export Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade participating online from Hanoi and officials of the Vietnamese Permanent Delegation in Geneva attending in person.

Speaking at the meeting, the representative of the Vietnamese delegation said that in 2025, Vietnam sent two notifications to the Secretariat of the WTO Rules of Origin Committee on Vietnam's implementation of rules of origin within the WTO framework.

According to the representative of the Vietnamese delegation, the application of QR codes and digital transformation in the issuance of C/O in Vietnam aims to facilitate the origin verification process, contributing to the serious and effective implementation of international trade commitments, especially in the context of the world situation with many challenges for trade activities and global supply chains.

The Vietnamese representative also announced the list of agencies and organizations that issue C/O in Vietnam so that WTO member countries can have transparent information from the exporting country, while clearly demonstrating Vietnam's responsibility in strengthening cooperation with WTO members.
