Japanese investors feel secure about their investment in Vietnam as the country boasts its political stability, an abundant, young and skilled human resource as well as a large market with over 80 million people, said Saito Nobuo, a representative from the Japan - Vietnam Friendship Association (JVFA).
Speaking at a conference on investment opportunities in Vietnam jointly held by the JVFA and Vietnam-Japan Businesses’ Club in Japan ’s Yokohama city on May 22, Saito Nobuo briefed about his organisation’s activities to boost the multi-faceted cooperation and exchange between the two countries.
He spoke highly of Vietnam ’s high economic growths over the past time despite its difficulties derived from the global economic crisis.
Economic-trade exchanges between Vietnamese and Japanese enterprises have helped bolster the fine relationship between the two countries over the past time, Nobuo said, suggesting the businesses should continue consolidating the bilateral ties through their trade and investment activities.
At the conference, businesses from the northern port city of Hai Phong provided information on business situation and incentives for foreign investors while investing in Vietnam in general and in the city in particular.
According to Pham Hong Diep, President of the Hai Phong Young Entrepreneurs’ Association, many Japanese businesses operating in infrastructure construction, industrial parks, bridges and wharves have achieved certain success in Hai Phong.
The demand for seeking investment opportunities in Vietnam continues rising in Japan . Japan ’s authorised agencies have coordinated with Vietnamese ministries, agencies and localities to organise investment promotion seminars in Japan in order to help Japanese businesses get more information and investment opportunities in the Southeast Asian country./.
