Canadian enterprises have been provided with information related to Vietnam’s business and investment climate and opportunities to make deeper inroads into the country, at a recent forum held in Winnipeg capital city of Manitoba province.
Co-organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Canada, the World Trade Center Winnipeg and the provincial authorities, the event brought together nearly 100 representatives from Canadian firms and business associations.
In his speech at the forum, Ambassador To Anh Dung highlighted fruitful development in Vietnam-Canada relations, affirming the Vietnamese Government’s determination to better investment and business climate, thus attracting Canadian firms in general and those in Manitoba in particular to pour investments in Vietnam.
Manitoba’s Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Ron Kostyshyn, and Mayor of Winnipeg city, Brian Bowman praised Vietnam’s achievements in recent years, and ex pressed their joy at increasing all-around relations between the two countries, especially in trade and investment.
The forum offered a change for participants to learn more about Vietnam’s land and people, contributing to boosting political relations, and trade links as well as between the two nations.
Immediately after the forum, some Canadian firms contacted with Vietnamese partners to import footwear and furniture for office. They also expressed their hope to set up a distribution channel of products serving water pollution treatment in aquaculture areas in Vietnam.
Manitoba is now the leading locality in developing agriculture and animal husbandry in Canada, while having great potential for developing hydroelectricity projects, manufacturing machines serving the agricultural sector, equipment for aircraft, farm products processing, and production of wooden items and construction materials.
It is rich in natural resources such as gold, copper, zinc, nickel, and oil.-VNA
