(VOV) - A Dutch delegation visited Can Tho City yesterday to seek investment opportunities in the Mekong Delta in the fields of technical design, consultancy, water management, cultivation, cattle feed, education and training.

Since 1990, Vietnam has exported seafood, footwear, garments and textiles, coffee, rice, and pepper, to the Netherlands and has imported machinery, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment from that country. By 2010, the two-way trade turnover had grown to 2.2 billion USD. Currently, the Netherlands has over 130 investment projects in Vietnam with a total registered capital of 5.7 billion USD. Most of the projects are focused on food processing, oil and gas exploration, chemicals, cosmetics, hotel construction and services.
