Vietnamese, Israeli firms boost cooperation

Israeli President Reuven Ruvi Rivlin attended a business forum between Vietnam and Israel on March 21 as part of his state visit to Vietnam.

Israel is operating 25 projects, capitalized at more than 46 million USD in Vietnam. It has provided Vietnam with 1 million USD in official development assistance.

Israel committed to provide Vietnamese firms with a 250-million-dollar credit package to further cooperate with Israeli businesses.

President Rivlin said he believes the event would help businesses of the two countries seek partners in agriculture, information technology and education.

Cultivation, renewable energy, ecommerce, and cyber security were also among the areas under discussion for partnership during the event.

Representatives from the Vietnamese government said they would coordinate with Israel counterparts to facilitate investment between the two countries.-VNA
