Moscow (VNA) - The high level of stability has helped Vietnam attract foreign investors, according to Chief Representative of the Russian Trade Office in the Southeast Asian nation Viacheslav Kharinov.
In an interview with the newspaper “Pravda” (Truth) of the Russian Federation Communist Party published on September 4, Kharinov said Vietnam is a socialist state with stringent law and without major violation going unpunished.
The banking system also operates under state control, he said, noting that the country now has macroeconomic and microeconomic institutions, and many experienced experts who underwent training in the former Soviet Union.
According to Kharinov, with a population of nearly 100 million, Vietnam has become a manufacturing hub for Asia and companies from the US as well. He took the example of Apple that has set up a plant in the country. The official likened the presence of major brands in Vietnam to that of the whole world.
Regarding the Vietnamese workforce, mainly untrained, the official said big groups view this as an advantage as they can offer training at their factories.
He lauded the reward system in Vietnam and suggested companies operating in the country align with the existing systems, frameworks, and order there.
Corporate owners would be foreigners, but directors are often Vietnamese to develop an effective reward system, thus promoting labourers' performance, he said./.
