• Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) — represented by Dr. Mike Omar, with acknowledgment of prior engagement and support from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Hanoi

The roundtable focused on practical discussions around agro-processing cooperation, technology and machinery exchange, market-entry pathways, sourcing and distribution opportunities, legal and investment considerations, and long-term Vietnam–Africa collaboration models.
Discussions explored not only bringing Vietnamese innovation, processing capabilities, and technology into African markets — but also creating pathways for African products, partnerships, and opportunities to engage more deeply with Vietnam and the wider ASEAN ecosystem.
During the session, the Convener — Ejikunle Olorunshogo Israel (Shogogreen), CEO of Green Walk Entry Global Ltd. — emphasized the growing importance of Africa–Asia relationship development and the need to build trusted ecosystems capable of shaping future cooperation across trade, innovation, industrial development, culture and shared economic growth.
Following the session, participating stakeholders agreed to continue structured engagement through a dedicated working group platform from May through September 2026 — supporting ongoing discussions, coordination, research, and potential pilot cooperation opportunities.
Special appreciation to the International Women Entrepreneurs Council (IWEC) for their active participation and continued commitment toward helping establish a sustainable cooperation pipeline between both countries.
Sincere thanks also to FTE Ba Dinh Hotel for their warm support and hospitality throughout the program.
