The event was organised by the US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC), the US Chamber of Commerce (USCC), and the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU), in collaboration with Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Vietnamese Embassy in the US.
Mr. Lam expressed his hope that the US Government will encourage US businesses to increase investment in Vietnam, and create favourable conditions for and provide assistance to Vietnamese investors to expand their effective operations in the US, especially projects in the fields of science, technology and innovation.
He suggested that US investors expand investment in industries and fields such as science and technology, innovation, research and development, green economy, digital economy, circular economy, knowledge-based economy, chip industry, semiconductor, artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IOT), new energy, renewable energy, finance, financial centres, biotechnology, and health care.
He also expressed his hope that US investors will continue their support so that the US administration will recognise Vietnam as a market economy at an early date.
General Secretary and President To Lam witnessed the handover of cooperation documents signed between Vietnamese and US enterprises in energy transition and technology transfer, software solutions in the electricity and oil and gas industry, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors and data center construction in Vietnam, and aviation and natural gas production.
