Mr. Chinh said that the elevation of the Vietnam-US relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership during US President Joe Biden’s recent visit to Vietnam has opened up new trade and investment opportunities between the two countries.

He said that in the time to come, Vietnam will focus on promoting a green, digital and circular economic development with innovations in science-technology to engage more deeply in the global investment structure, trade order and supply chain.

The process requires mutual resource-sharing from international friends, multinational businesses and leading investment funds throughout the world and the US in particular, said Prime Minister Chinh.

He asked for global firms and investment funds to share their experience and provide political consultations in mobilizing financial resources and the building of a financial center in Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam hopes to receive their suggestions to enhance the governing capacity for the Vietnamese public and private sectors, leading to a high level of transparency, efficiency and sustainable development, Mr. Chinh added.

At the seminar, leaders of businesses and investment funds and Vietnamese State management agencies discussed measures and orientations to attract more financial resources for socio-economic development, especially the building and development of financial centers in Vietnam.
