High-quality human resources help to boost FDI attraction
VOV.VN - As a means of attracting more foreign direct investment (FDI), the nation needs to pay greater attention to training high-quality human resources, promoting administrative reforms, and developing and upgrading infrastructure, according to the European Chamber of Commerce (EuroCham).
