Mr. Tran Chi Hung, Vice Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee attended the conference at Can Tho City bridge point.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang chaired the conference. Attending the conference at the Can Tho City bridge point were Mr. Tran Chi Hung, Vice Chairman of the Can Tho City People's Committee, and representatives of relevant departments and branches.

Speaking at the opening of the conference, Deputy Minister Nguyen Minh Hang said that the conference was an opportunity to have a deep, substantive and specific exchange on the work that has been done after 2 years of implementing the Project (approved by the Government in 2023). From there, solutions and recommendations were put forward to develop the Vietnamese Halal industry to meet the expected requirements. Deputy Minister Nguyen Minh Hang said that the potential for global Halal development is huge, with many opportunities for Vietnam to participate, so all levels, sectors and localities need to have timely policies and effective steps.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Halal is an economic sector with a lot of potential. After 2 years of implementing the Project, some practical results have been achieved: awareness of all levels on development has been spread from the Government to ministries, departments, branches, localities and enterprises; a legal corridor has been gradually built as well as a set of Halal standards in Vietnam; there have been many promotional activities to support businesses, initially forming activities to help businesses access the global Halal chain; there have been international integration activities to not only develop domestic capacity but also integrate with countries and markets with developed Halal industries. These initial results show the close attention and companionship of all levels, departments, branches and local authorities.

To develop the Halal industry in Vietnam in a more systematic and professional manner as the Government expects, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that there needs to be a more obvious change in the coming time. At the same time, it is necessary to promote international cooperation to develop the Halal industry in Vietnam. The conference is not only to review the results achieved, but also to recognize difficulties to find solutions.

Thereby, it presents 5 opportunities for sustainable development of the Halal industry in the coming time. That is the potential, the Halal market is very large; the development of the Halal industry is in the policy of diversifying markets, diversifying partners, diversifying products; very suitable with the green development trend of the world; many countries are interested and implementing; domestic capacity is large and strong.
