He noted with satisfaction the positive development of Vietnam-Finland relations in recent times, and said both sides need to promote cooperation in politics, diplomacy, economics, trade, investment, education-training, and development aid.
The Vietnamese government will create the best possible conditions for Finish businesses to establish long-term partnerships with their Vietnamese counterparts and foster bilateral trade links, Dung assured his guest.
Minister Hautala said she was accompanied by a number of Finish businesses on a visit to Vietnam aiming to increase Finish investment in the country, especially in the environment and green technology.
Vietnam is a traditional partner in Finland’s development cooperation policy, she said, hoping that the Vietnamese government will facilitate Finish operations in the country.
Representatives of Finish businesses showed their desires to invest in their strong areas such as consultations, technology, renewable energy, measurement and weather forecast.
