Vietnam Welcomes Delegation of Canadian Parliamentarians, Businesses

Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan received a delegation of Canadian parliamentarians and businesspeople on Tuesday Mar 17 who are paying visit to Vietnam to boost bilateral relations and seek for investment opportunities, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) said on its website.

 

The delegation includes representatives from 13 Canadian firms operating in fields of finance, trade, service and transport.

 

Speaking with the guests, Vice President Doan said like other nations in the world, Vietnam is experiencing the global economic downturn. However, she said, the country is considered by the international community to have numerous potentials.

 

The vice president affirmed Vietnam is continuing to give favorable conditions for foreign investors, including those from Canada, to do business in the country.

 

The two-way trade value between Vietnam and Canada grows 20 per cent a year to roughly $1 billion. Canada’s investment in Vietnam has increased sharply during recent years, with registered capital reaching more than $6 billion so far. (CPV, News)
