APEC 2017: Vietnam ensures transparent business environment
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh has affirmed Vietnam’s strong commitment to ensuring an open, transparent and fair business environment for businesses’ success.
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
And at this very Summit, many useful suggestions, ideas and solutions for growth, cooperation and connectivity from the business community have come into being, making direct contributions to the region’s connectivity, freer flows of goods and services, and above all to sustainable development and prosperity of our region. I believe that your suggestions and ideas will be duly reflected and taken into serious consideration at the APEC Leaders’ Meeting.
Distinguished guests,
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you, the APEC CEOs, for your strong partnership and commitment to your business in Vietnam, and to our shared economic and strategic goals. When you invest in Vietnam, everyone wins.
The business community in Asia – Pacific region has been playing a pivotal role in Vietnam economic development. You are our largest foreign investors and trading partners and also our credible policy advisors. We appreciate your strong support, sharing and cooperation in the last 30 years of our economic reform.
During the past few days, you have listened to the remarks of our President Tran Dai Quang at the opening of this Summit and Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc at the Vietnam Business Summit. Tonight, I am here to reaffirm once again the strong commitment of the Government of Vietnam to ensuring an open, transparent and fair environment for your business in Vietnam, for your success, and we wish you continued success.
Before concluding, let me have a few words about this thriving and dynamic city of Da Nang. This city is striving to become the most livable city in the country, a must-visit tourist attraction and a major investment destination. Da Nang is also boosting its growth as a key city and driving force for the coastal central region in the years to come, and planning to be a regional hub for urbanisation, tourism and hi-tech growth. So, I hope you won’t miss your business opportunity here in Da Nang, especially during this important week.
Thank you.”
