Vietnam wants to learn Hong Kong’s financial experience
Vietnam wishes to learn Hong Kong’s experiences in developing the financial, monetary and securities sectors.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung expressed this aspiration while receiving the visiting Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, John Tsang in Hanoi on December 15.
The Deputy PM affirmed that Vietnam continually strives to create favourable conditions to welcome Hong Kong businesses to Vietnam to invest in areas such as transport, education and healthcare.
Deputy PM Hung told the Hong Kong official that foreign investment in Vietnam has doubled annually in recent times and that the country is currently reorganising and equitising enterprises.
John Tsang said that Hong Kong views Vietnam as a potential market to develop a long-term cooperation programme. He spoke highly of Vietnam’s economic achievements, and stressed that Vietnam has become an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investors, including Hong Kong, due to its youthful and plentiful labour force, favourable geographical location and open investment policies.
On the same day, Deputy PM Hung received the visiting Vice Chairman of the Russian Duma Melnikov Ivan Ivanovich in Hanoi.
Deputy PM Hung expressed his belief that co-operation between the Vietnamese and Russian parliaments will contribute to boosting the friendship and multifaceted cooperation between the two countries.
Mr Ivanovich stressed the cooperation between Russia and Vietnam, especially in education, culture, sports and tourism has achieved good results.
