A workshop on investment and business potential in India, the Republic of Korea (RoK) and Vietnam was jointly held in East Brunswick city of New Jersey on September 10 by the US Department of Commerce (DOC), the PNC bank and FEDEX transport company.

Donald Nay, a senior commercial official from the Trade Agency of the US Embassy in Vietnam, said that Vietnam is a potential market for American businesses operating in the fields of telecoms, aviation, transportation, medical equipment, banking and insurance.

However, Vietnam needs to pay more attention to improving healthcare quality, infrastructure and environmental protection and curbing inflation in order to attract more businesses from the US, he added.
