JETRO to help Vietnam develop supporting industry
The Chairman of the Japan External Trade Organisation
(JETRO) has affirmed that helping Vietnam develop its supporting
industry is one of his organisation’s priorities in the coming time.
Talking with a Vietnam News Agency reporter during his
working visit to Viet Nam
from April 2-4, JETRO Chairman Yasuo Hayashi said that JETRO will collaborate
with Viet Nam to organise an
exhibition on the supporting industry in Ho
Chi Minh City at the end of the year.
“This will be a good opportunity for Japanese businesses and
Vietnamese components suppliers to meet and seek cooperation possibilities,”
said Hayashi.
JETRO has cooperated with the Vietnam Trade Promotion
Department (Vietrade) to host three similar exhibitions since 2004. The 2007
exhibition saw more than 130 Vietnamese and Japanese businesses sign 50
cooperation agreements.
JETRO plans to work with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (VCCI) and the Kansai Economic Federation of Japan to organise
discussions on the Vietnamese and Japanese economy in Osaka
and Tokyo this September, with the development
of Vietnam
’s subsidiary industry high on their agenda, the JETRO leader said.
According to the result of JETRO’s annual surveys, most
Japanese businesses said that Vietnam
is one of the most attractive investment destinations. The survey also revealed
that more Japanese businesses would invest in Vietnam if the nation can develop
its subsidiary industry.-
