COVID-19 pandemic has been making significant changes to every aspect of human life. As a country of high trade openness, having extensive trade relations with many economic partners, Vietnam’s export and import are severely affected by the wave of the epidemic. Therefore, this paper focuses on analyzing the impacts of COVID-19 outbreak on Vietnam’s foreign trade, apart from that proposing some prospects and solutions for this branch to overcome this global pandemic.

Андемия COVID-19 вносит существенные изменения во все аспекты жизни человека. Поскольку Вьетнам является страной с высокой торговой открытостью и разветвленными торговыми отношениями со многими экономическими партнёрами, его экспорт и импорт серьёзно пострадали от волны пандемии. В статье основное внимание уделяется анализу воздействия вспышки COVID-19 на внешнюю торговлю страны и предлагается ряд решений для преодоления последствий пандемии для этой области экономики.
