The Vietnamese government leader asked Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation to expand investment in infrastructure, airport transport, seaports and energy, particularly renewable energy in Viet Nam, and applauded the strong development of the Viet Nam-Japan extensive strategy partnership across a variety of fields with high mutual political trust.
Japan was a leading economic partner, the largest official development assistance (ODA) provider, the fourth biggest trade partner and No. 1 investor of Viet Nam in 2017, Phuc told his guest while affirming Viet Nam’s recognition of great importance to boosting economic cooperation with Japan and hailing Japanese investors’ contributions to the country’s socio-economic development.
However, Phuc cited Japan’s still low level of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam accounting for just 3% of its total FDI in Asia, and lower than its investment in a number of Southeast Asian nations.
The Vietnamese Government has revamped institutions and mechanisms to offer more favourable conditions for foreign investors, including those from Japan, the PM stressed.
Regarding investment and business activities of Mitsubishi in Viet Nam, PM Phuc asked the corporation to take heed to manufacturing, automobile and food processing industries in the country.
