Vietnam, France businesses seek cooperation opportunities
(VOV) - Vietnamese and French businesses examined the possibility of establishing partnerships in a number of areas at a recent meeting in the Val de Marne region.
Bui Huy Son, head of the Vietnam Trade Promotion Department, introduced Vietnam’s investment climate and incentives to encourage foreign investment infows.
French representatives presented the government’s support programmes for French and foreign companies operating in the country.
Vietnamese businesses, including mining, garment and beverage producers, and their French counterparts directly exchanged views on demands and the possibility of cooperation in specific areas.
French entrepreneurs showed their interest in business-investment opportunities in Vietnam, expecting to capitalise on the EU-Vietnam free trade agreement (EVFTA) due to be signed later this year.
Elisabeth Rodriques, director of the economic development department of the Val de Marne region, said the local council supports and encourages its businesses to increase mutually beneficial cooperation with Vietnamese companies.
She welcomed Vietnamese companies’ plans to establish trading centres in the region or partnership with local businesses.
