Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and other senior Government officials will attend the second annual Business Roundtable titled Positioning Vietnam for Future which is co-hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ World&Vietnam Report and Economist Conferences – a world leading media group.

They will listen to the CEOs of trans-national companies operating in Vietnam, introduce policies and answer questions of concern.

The conference will help build foreign investors’ trust in the Government’s investment policies amidst the negative effects of the global economic recession, said Vu Son Thuy, deputy head of the organising board, at a press briefing in Hanoi on February 11.

Thuy, who is also Editor-in-chief of the World&Vietnam Report, said that domestic businesses will have the chance to explore and establish long-term links with foreign partners.

“More importantly, this practical economic-diplomatic activity will create a forum to serve as an international think-tank to discuss Vietnam’s economic and business development issues,” said Mr Thuy.

As part of the event, 58 leading Vietnamese brands will be showcased at an exposition to promote the image of Vietnamese businesses in the process of international economic integration. Government officials will cut the red ribbon to inaugurate the expo before the roundtable takes place.
