NA Chairman welcomes Keidanren’s working delegation
Hanoi (VNA) – National
Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue has lauded the Japan
Business Federation (Keidanren) and Japanese corporate leaders for promoting
economic, trade and investment ties between the two countries.
During
a reception in Hanoi on March 7 for a delegation from Keidanren who are in
Vietnam to attend a high-level economic seminar on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties (September 21), Chairman Hue expressed
his delight at the strong and comprehensive development of the Vietnam-Japan
extensive strategic partnership with high political trust.
He spoke highly of
the results of the action programme within the framework of the eighth phase of
Vietnam - Japan Joint Initiative with the implementation of 84 sub-sections,
including contents related to the law such as amending and supplementing the
Law on Investment and the Enterprise Law.
The host reaffirmed
the Vietnamese NA and Government’s commitments to continue steadfastly
improving business environment, fine-tuning legal and policy framework, improving
the competitiveness of the economy, and creating favourable conditions for investors,
including foreign ones to do business smoothly in Vietnam.
As the Vietnamese
legislature will consider, revise or issue several important laws in the near
future, he suggested Keidanren and Japanese firms offer opinions on them during
the process.
For the ninth phase
of the Vietnam - Japan Joint Initiative, Hue proposed linking development
strategies of the two economies, legal and policy frameworks of the two
countries, cooperating in developing infrastructure, including infrastructure
for digital transformation, climate change adaptation, just energy transition,
transport infrastructure while forming connectivity to improve production
capacity of each nation to form regional and global production and supply
chains, as well as develop human resources.
On the occasion, he
hoped that Keidanren as well as Japanese businesses would have a voice with the
Japanese legislature and government to step up bilateral labour cooperation.
The top legislator
expressed his belief that with political determination of the two countries’
leaders and support of the Japanese enterprises, the Vietnam-Japan extensive
strategic partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia will further thrive.
A Keidanren
representative wished that the Vietnamese NA and Government would continue
partnering with Japanese firms in doing business in Vietnam.
Highlighting the importance
of digital and green transformation, he affirmed that Keidanren together with
Japanese firms will do their best to contribute to the development of both Vietnam
and Japan in the near future, as well as help the Vietnamese Government fulfil set targets./.
