Representatives of international groups such as President and Chairman of Greenland Holdings Group Corporation Limited and Shanghai Greenland Construction Zhang Yuliang and Chief Executive Officer of Central Group Viet Nam at the Central Group Philippe Broianigo expressed their desires to expand investment and operation in Viet Nam in all fields, including retail sales. 

They affirmed to soon launch projects in production and manufacturing in the Mekong Delta. 

Applauding initiatives and plans of foreign and domestic investors to Viet Nam and the Mekong Delta, the PM proposed ensuring the quality and safety of products, protecting the environment and giving priority to Vietnamese products.

The PM hailed the number of more than 24,000 foreign-invested projects, worth US$320 billion have been launched in Viet Nam. In 2017, the nation attracted more than US$35 billion in Foreign Direct Investment, the highest figure recorded.
