Prime Minister welcomes US businesses

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc expressed hope US companies operating in Viet Nam will reap more success.

He also pledged the best-possible conditions for foreign investors, including those from the United States.

At a reception for a delegation of US investors led by William Weidner, chairman and CEO of Global Gaming Asset Management and principal of Weidner Holdings, in Ha Noi on May 4, the prime minister hailed the performance of US businesses in Viet Nam and their contributions to promoting the relationship between the two countries.

The PM said the Viet Nam National Assembly was considering the approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, which is expected to boost collaboration between businesses of the two nations.

Expressing delight at the fruitful development of bilateral ties in various areas, the host said the Vietnamese people were delighted to welcome US President Barack Obama to the country.

For his part, Weidner stressed the support of senators for US enterprises to operate in Viet Nam.

Highlighting the great opportunities afforded by the TPP deal, Weidner said US businesses want Viet Nam to become the world's investment attraction gateway.

US businesses expect to build a modern trade centre in HCM City, Weidner said.

He said US firms are keen to build modern facilities and invest in projects in Viet Nam, thus contributing to enhancing the mutual understanding and friendship between the people of the two countries.
