Bridge – Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh yesterday, Sep 6, received a visiting
delegation of the US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC) and its representatives.
The delegation was headed by USABC President
Alexander Feldman and President of the council’s US-Viet Nam Committee, Stuart
Dean. They were accompanied by representatives from nearly 40 large firms. This
was the largest ever business delegation from the US to Viet Nam.
The visit was aimed at studying the targets
and priority policies of the new government in Viet Nam.
They will also study Viet Nam’s measures to
cope with macro-economic challenges while maintaining economic growth, as well
as ways to boost Viet Nam-US economic, trade and investment relations.
Issues of regional cooperation, ASEAN
connectivity and the negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic
Partnership (TPP) Agreement were also on the agenda for this visit.
FM Minh highly valued the cooperation between
Viet Nam and the US, which has been developing bilaterally and multilaterally
in politics, economic trade, education, health care, science and technology and
humanitarian activities. The two countries have also been exerting efforts to
boost ties.
He said the Vietnamese Government invited US
businesses to Viet Nam to seek cooperation, investment and business
opportunities and to work for the long term in Viet Nam, thus contributing to
boosting Viet Nam-US relations.
The FM asked US businesses to continue taking
part in social and humanitarian activities and the process of overcoming the
consequences of war in Viet Nam.
On behalf of the delegation, Alexander Feldman
said that US businesses wanted to boost cooperation with the Vietnamese
Government and enterprises in trade and investment, contributing to developing
relations between the two countries for the benefits of the two people.
He also pledged to continue helping Viet Nam
to cope with global issues like climate change, environmental, humanitarian and
social matters.
While in Viet Nam, the US businesses will meet
with leaders and officials of ministries and sectors to discuss issues of
common interest.
