President Quang lauded the participation of many leading US groups specialising in information-technology, pharmacy, food, health care and high-tech in APEC activities since the beginning of this year.
Welcoming US businesses investing in the fields of high-tech, energy and infrastructure in Vietnam, the President suggested the USABC continue to seeking effective, long-term, mutually-beneficial business opportunities in the country and serve as a bridge for US firms to operate in the Southeast Asian nation.
He also called on the USABC to urge the US Government to soon recognize Vietnam’s market economy, and enhance trade and investment links with Vietnam. Vietnam has paid heed to infrastructure development such as airports, seaports and roads and has invested in high-tech to meet requirements of the fourth industrial revolution, he added.
In line with the comprehensive reform process, Vietnam continues to promote and deepen international integration, actively contributing to multilateral mechanisms. "The bid for the second APEC year after 11 years is a vivid demonstration of that determination," the President emphasized and affirmed that the State and people of Vietnam always pay great respect to the support and cooperation, as well as companionship of the APEC business community over the course of more than 30 years of innovation.
