<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">After  a nearly 9-year journey, this Sunday 30 June, the EU-Vietnam Free Trade  Agreement (EVFTA) and EU&ndash;Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (IPA)  will be signed in Hanoi, following the approval of the EU Council  earlier this week. <br />
The EVFTA promises to bring Vietnam and Europe  closer together. Once ratified, trade and investment will grow, bringing  positive benefits for business and consumers on both sides.<br />
<br />
In  order to take the momentum of this signing ceremony and provide more  information to Sector Committees and all members, EuroCham is pleased to  organise two briefings on EU Vietnam Free Trade Agreement with the  following details:<br />
