PM Chinh, who has been in the US to attend the high-level week of the UN General Assembly’s 78th session, expressed his hope that Nasdaq will intensify collaboration with the State Securities Commission of Vietnam and other relevant agencies on the basis of mutual benefit.
He said that Vietnam will create the most favourable conditions for investors through the implementation of three strategic breakthroughs of perfecting institutions, mechanisms and policies, developing modern and comprehensive infrastructure, and training high-quality human resources; speeding up administrative reform; protecting the legal and legitimate rights and interests of investors, and helping them reduce costs, increase competitiveness, and operate effectively and sustainably.
At the meeting, PM Chinh answered questions from leaders of participating enterprises on policies to encourage the development of science and technology in finance, land use, and investment procedures, and encourage foreign businesses to facilitate Vietnamese firms’ participation in the supply chain.
NASDAD leaders said they will strengthen cooperation with Vietnamese partners in promoting innovative startups and commit to promoting capital sources to support startup activities in Vietnam.
On this occasion, Nasdaq and the State Securities Commission of Vietnam signed a letter of intent to continue promoting an increasingly close, effective and sustainable relationship between the two sides.
