The U.S. business highly spoke of the Vietnamese Government and PM’s efforts in reforming administrative procedures, improving the business environment and attracting foreign visitors to Viet Nam, affirmed Mr. Adam Sitkoff.

Representatives of some U.S. corporations expressed their delight on expanding operation in Viet Nam, hoping that the Vietnamese Government and PM will facilitate these enterprises to successfully launch business in Viet Nam in fields of the digital economy, smart city, pharmacy and energy.

The Vietnamese Government always creates favorable conditions for U.S. firms to invest in Viet Nam, regarding it as a key factor in the bilateral relationship, said PM Phuc.
