According to VNA correspondent in Switzerland, Minister Counselor Pham Quang Huy - Deputy Head of the Permanent Delegation of Vietnam in Geneva - recently had a working session with representatives of the St. Gallen Foundation and attended a workshop on "Risk level and trade response of countries to increased tariffs."

The workshop was attended by a large number of delegations from member countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO), along with speakers and coordinators who were leading experts on international trade policy, including Mr. Simon Evenett - Founder of the St. Gallen Foundation and Professor Richard Baldwin (IMD) - expert on global economics .

The event was also attended by professors and experts from HEC Montreal Business School (Canada), University of Geneva (Switzerland), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and Trade Data Monitor.

The workshop provided practical information and data to help WTO members assess the risks to their exports in the context of the US's new tariff policy; understand the factors that help companies and countries recover from the sudden loss of export markets; and assess the impact of increased tariffs on trade.

On the sidelines of the workshop, the Vietnamese delegation also met with speakers to learn more information, including a discussion with Professor Baldwin about his recent book, “The Great Trade Hack,” which focuses on analyzing the US government’s tariff policy.

In addition, the delegation also had a working session with Professor Simon Evenett to propose strengthening coordination activities between the two sides.
