The Vietnamese Government will create the possible best conditions for Sri Lankan and Vietnamese businesses to approach investment and trade opportunities.
State President Truong Tan Sang made this affirmation at a reception for Asoka Hettigoda, President of the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka, in Hanoi on Nov. 17.
He said he hopes the two countries’ businesses will take advantage of cooperative opportunities to raise export and import value and increase two-way trade to 1 billion USD by 2015.
Hettigoda said that in addition to studying the market, the visit aims to promote long-term investment in Vietnam.
