Vietnam and Malaysia share strong potential for cooperation in the Halal industry, from certification and standards harmonisation to trade in Halal-compliant food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. As two dynamic economies within ASEAN, closer collaboration can open new export channels for Vietnamese enterprises seeking to reach the global Halal market.

Malaysia is recognised as one of the world's leading Halal hubs, with a mature certification ecosystem and internationally trusted standards. Learning from this model, Vietnam is accelerating the development of its own national Halal certification framework through HALCERT, ensuring products meet both Islamic law requirements and international market expectations.

Through knowledge exchange, mutual recognition of certificates and joint promotion activities, both countries can strengthen supply chains and build consumer confidence. For Vietnamese businesses, this cooperation represents a valuable opportunity to expand into high-growth Halal markets across the Middle East, Southeast Asia and beyond.
