Head of Vietnam Trade Mission in Karachi, Vu Viet Dzung has said that Vietnam footwear industry is growing and the export of footwear alone from Vietnam is around 9 billion dollars and Pakistan can have a big share. Talking to a delegation of Pakistan Tanners Association (PTA) led by its chairman, Gulzar Firoz, he said that Pakistan present export of leather to Vietnam was around 25 million dollars, which is hardly 1 percent of the total leather export of Vietnam.
