Deputy PM Hoang Trung Hai receives 20 Swiss businesses to seek investment opportunities

Deputy PM Hoàng Trung Hải on Monday received a delegation of 20 Swiss businesses which are now in Việt Nam to seek investment opportunities.

These businesses operate in the fields of finance-banking, energy, construction, pharmacy, and foodstuff.

The Swiss business delegation’s visit aims to partly realize the agreements reached between the two countries during Deputy PM Hải’s visit to Switzerland last September.

Deputy PM Hải reiterated that the Vietnamese Government would create favorable conditions for Swiss investors to effectively conduct FDI projects in Việt Nam.

Swiss businesses showed their interests in the Southeast Asian country’s investment environment, particularly policies for private, foreign-funded sectors.

The Deputy PM briefed his guests on Việt Nam’s recent socio-economic developments as well as the Government’s measures to maintain a good economic growth.

Two way trade between Việt Nam and Switzerland reached US $3.2 billion, or a year-on-year increase of 17%. Switzerland has 80 projects capitalized at nearly US $2 billion.
