Over the past decade, the Association has organized numerous exchange activities and provided support to the people of Myanmar, especially during difficult times caused by natural disasters and pandemics. It has also actively encouraged Vietnamese enterprises, particularly those in agriculture, fisheries, and livestock, to explore cooperation opportunities in Myanmar, and has helped connect Vietnamese businesses with Myanmar partners.
