The Government leader made the remark during a reception for a delegation of the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council (USABC) in Ha Noi on March 28. 

He briefed the guests on the socio-economic achievements Viet Nam attained in 2017, while highly appreciating the contributions made by the US, including its business community, to the success of the Viet Nam APEC Year 2017 and particularly the APEC CEO Summit.

The PM asserted that the U.S. business community always plays an important role in the development of bilateral ties as well as the acceleration of Viet Nam’s development goals. 

He asked USABC and U.S. firms to continue expanding their business operations in Viet Nam, whilst serving as a bridge attracting new U.S. firms to come and do long-term and stable business in the country.

The guests called for further support from the PM and relevant Vietnamese agencies in accelerating the progress and removing difficulties for the U.S side’s projects in Viet Nam, concerning the fields of renewable energy, machinery, electricity, soft drinks, information technology, and cybersecurity.
