He told his guest that HCM City will offer the best possible conditions for Slovakian businesses to boost trade, investment cooperation and run long-term business in fields of the city's high demand such as chemical industry, smart solutions, sustainable development, food industry and health.
He asked the Slovakian Deputy PM to encourage Slovakian companies to augment trade and investment cooperation with Vietnam and HCM City as well, aiming to spur the sustainable development of bilateral relations between Vietnam and Slovakia.
