Government to host investment forums in the U.S.

Vietnam plans to host a series of investment forums in the U.S. this year to attract more foreign investors.

Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung recently approved the concept, with the first forum to be held in New York on September 21, coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly.

Vietnamese government ministers and senior officials will address the forum, providing potential investors with the latest information on Vietnam’s economic growth, financial markets, key industries and future prospects.

To be coordinated by the Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the New York forum will be designed to give investors first-hand information about new regulatory and legal developments in Vietnam.

The forum will also be an opportunity for foreign investors to meet and discuss partnerships and opportunities with Vietnamese business people.

The dates and locations of other U.S. forms have not yet been announced.
