Gijae Seong, Director of the Amazon Global Selling for Southeast Asia and Australia, said e-commerce exports have become an important channel for global trade.

Via Amazon, Vietnamese enterprises could expand their business globally as it has websites in 18 countries with 27 languages, a wide range of goods and 175 distribution centres that ship goods to 185 countries.

Amazon sellers come from more than 130 different countries who reach some 300 million customers.

According to Phu, Vietnamese handicrafts, apparel, footwear and consumer goods will be able to reach millions of customers worldwide, but firms need to prepare thoroughly.
