The Vietnamese Government always accompanies and supports foreign enterprises, including those from Romania, so that they can make long-term, effective and sustainable investment in Vietnam in the spirit of “harmonising benefits and sharing risks”, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh told the forum.

Mr. Chinh said that Vietnam prioritises investments in digital economy, green economy, circular economy and knowledge-based economy, with projects in the areas of high technologies, electronics, semiconductor, innovation, renewable energy, and infrastructure development, among others.

He took this occasion to thank Romania for its positive role in the signing of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and being one of the first nations to ratify the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement, and suggested enterprises of both sides to capitalise on the deals to boost cooperation for development.
The PM recommended the two sides step up exchange and investment in the fields of Vietnam’s demand and Romania’s strengths, comprising mechanical engineering, specialised machinery, medical equipment and automobile manufacturing industry.

At the forum, participants were introduced to investment potential, climate and opportunities in Vietnam and Romania. Businesses had the chance to get a deeper insight into the economic development strategies in each nation as well as their business procedures, infrastructure and human resources.
