They mentioned fields of interested investment and development support, including banking and financing services, recycling technology, transport and supporting industries.
Deputy PM Hai stressed the sound bilateral ties between Viet Nam and Sweden, saying that Viet Nam is growing stably, overcome challenges, continue international integration and want to draw further investment and cooperation from all other countries.
He spoke highly of the Swedish Government’s policies to encourage their businesses to invest and trade in Viet Nam in areas which are Sweden’s strengths and Viet Nam’s demands for socio-economic development.
The Government of Viet Nam has taken many policies and measures to facilitate foreign businesses, including those from Sweden, to invest and trade stably in Viet Nam, considering foreign investors’ success as the country’s, said the Government official.
The two-way trade turnover between Viet Nam and Sweden has reached nearly US$1 billion and an impressive growth rate of 20% per year. The European country currently has 34 projects in Viet Nam and provides over US$3.4 billion of non-refundable official development assistance to Viet Nam./.
