Vietnam seeks to boost ties with Canada’s Yukon territory
Meeting
Yukon’s Deputy Premier Tracy McPhee, and Minister of Economic Development,
Tourism and Culture, Housing and Liquor & Lottery Corporation Ranj Pillai,
Trung said that the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific
Partnership (CPTPP) is bringing new bilateral cooperation opportunities in the
fields of economics, trade and investment.
However,
economic cooperation between Vietnam and Yukon remains modest, and the two
sides’ businesses can tap cooperation potential in the production of household
appliances from Yukon's wood materials, and boost cooperation in labour,
education, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges.
The
hosts paid attention to substantive cooperation fields between Yukon and Vietnam,
such as labour, adding that they are willing to give priority to Vietnamese
enterprises who want to invest in the hotel sector in the Canadian territory,
as the region has great demand for labourers in this field.
Talking to businesses from the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, the Consul General
informed them of Vietnam’s business and investment environment in the context
that both countries are CPTPP signatories.
Meanwhile,
a leader of Yukon University committed to creating favourable conditions to
receive more Vietnamese students./.
