Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung approved the national export-import strategy for Vietnam in the 2011-2020 period, with a view to 2030.
Accordingly, total export revenue in 2020 is expected to be triple that in 2011 and the average income per capita is set to reach more than US$2,000 by 2020.
Average export growth is also projected to increase by 10-12 percent annually from now until 2030.
The country plans to reduce its trade deficit to below 10 percent in 2015, towards balanced trade by 2020, and it should enjoy a trade surplus in the following decade.
