VN, Slovakia look to bolster economic ties
There is still room for Vietnamese and Slovakian enterprises to accelerate their bilateral co-operation, especially in the fields of trade and investment, Deputy Minister of Investment and Trade Le Danh Vinh told a business conference in Ha Noi on Apr. 15.
The traditional friendship, frequent visits by the two countries' leaders and a series of co-operation agreements inked previously to lay a legal framework for businesses would help make these co-operation opportunities more visible, Vinh said.
In recent years, the Government has paid increasing attention to the reform of administrative procedures to better comply with the requirements of global integration and further facilitate foreign investors.
Vinh called on Slovakian businesses to take more interest in Viet Nam, one of Asia's most dynamic economies.
Slovak Minister of Economy and Construction Juraj Miskov said he believed that new partnerships would be established between the two countries following yesterday's business forum, held in recognition of his first visit to Viet Nam.
Viet Nam and Slovakia were yet to make full use of their mutual potential to speed up relations, said Andrea Gulova from the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency.
She outlined technology and equipment for industrial production and energy, machinery, chemicals, IT and agriculture as promising areas for bilateral co-operation.
Yesterday also witnessed a co-operation agreement signed between the Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam and the Export-Import Bank of the Slovak Republic.
Following the agreement, the two sides would join hands in supporting import-export activities, funding future projects in Viet Nam and fostering information and experience exchanges.
