The event was co-organised by Vietnam’s trade office in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Hong Kong Business Association Vietnam.

The President of the Hong Kong Business Association Vietnam, Winnie Lam, affirmed that Vietnam has great advantages in attracting foreign investment such as its political stability, low labour cost, social security and large population of nearly 90 million.

Vietnam’s Commercial Counselor to Hong Kong, Pham Van Cong, said that Hong Kong led other nations and territories in pouring capital into Vietnam last year.

Hong Kong had 49 investment projects in Vietnam capitalized at nearly US$3 billion in 2011, making up nearly 26 percent of total foreign investment in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese trade office in Hong Kong has regularly helped organize seminars to introduce Vietnam’s investment environment and arranged for delegations of Hong Kong businesses to visit Vietnam.
