Ho Chi Minh City’s Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) will enhance market expansion activities abroad in the near future, especially encouraging enterprises to invest in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
ITPC
Director Pho Nam Phuong made the declaration at a January 22 conference
to map out measures implementing the centre’s plan in 2014.
Phuong said the ITPC will step up cooperation with southern localities
and commercial counseling agencies in foreign countries to help internal
and external producers and businesses expand their export-import
activities.
The centre will also call on and facilitate the
operation of multi-national groups and investors in Vietnam , while
encouraging domestic enterprises to further foster their investment
abroad.
Speaking at the event, Vice Chairwoman of the
municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thi Hong praised the efforts made by
ITPC in the last year to bring Vietnamese goods to regional and
international markets.
She said that the centre contributed to
strengthening trade and investment cooperation between the Vietnamese
business community and those from foreign countries.
Hong
asked ITPC to optimise its operations to become a prestigious agency in
promoting the city’s trade and investment activities and socio-economic
development as well as assisting enterprises in enhancing their
production and business.
In 2013, ITPC implemented many
trade and investment promotion programmes, contributing to the city’s
economic growth through organising forums, fairs and exhibitions.
It also held meetings and exchanges to popularise new policies in the
fields of tax, customs and investment licensing for producers,
businesses and investors.-VNA
