UK businesses seek to invest in Vietnam

The UK and its business community can play an important role in the development of Vietnam and help it reach the next level, members of a British delegation said on April 13 at a meeting with the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee.

UK businesses appreciate Vietnam’s development prospects, especially those of HCM City, delegation leader Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said, expressing his hope that UK companies will intensify investment in the city in the time ahead.

He also suggested the two sides should make more efforts to enhance trade links and investment.

Nguyen Thanh Phong, chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee said he highly appreciated the UK Foreign Secretary’s pledge to support the development of the city's education and worker training systems.

"The UK delegation’s trip marked a milestone in the bilateral strategic partnership and opened up opportunities for HCM City and its UK partners to bolster cooperation in investment, trade and infrastructure," Phong added.
