Vietnam is committed to fostering an open and favorable environment for foreign investors, including those from the United States, Vietnam Party General Secretary affirmed during a meeting in Hanoi with Nicholas Berggruen, founder and chairman of Berggruen Holdings and the Berggruen Institute, and director of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.
Highlighting the importance of Vietnam-U.S. ties, Party Chief emphasized the growing collaboration in education, culture, and people-to-people exchanges. “Vietnam values its comprehensive strategic partnership with the United States and is determined to deepen bilateral cooperation for the benefit of both nations’ people and enterprises,” he said.
Sophie Dao, Senior Partner at GBS, a leading investment consulting firm in Vietnam, praised these commitments. “Vietnam’s proactive efforts to attract foreign investment and build strong international partnerships are truly commendable. By prioritizing transparency and collaboration, the country continues to be a magnet for global investors,” she remarked.
Party General Secretary also pointed to the Vietnam-U.S. Comprehensive Strategic Partnership’s remarkable achievements, underscoring the critical role of businesses, scholars, and the public in driving progress. He encouraged Berggruen to explore new opportunities for investment and research in Vietnam and to facilitate partnerships between Columbia University and Vietnamese institutions.
Vietnam’s long-term goals, as outlined by the 13th National Party Congress, include becoming an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income developed nation by 2045. To achieve these ambitions, the country is focused on building an independent and self-reliant economy while actively integrating into the global community.
“Vietnam’s commitment to innovation, science, and technology, combined with its highly skilled workforce, makes it an attractive destination for investors seeking long-term opportunities,” Sophie Dao added. “At GBS, we’ve witnessed firsthand how Vietnam is leveraging its resources to create sustainable growth.”
During the meeting, Berggruen commended Vietnam’s achievements and leadership vision, pledging their continued support for initiatives to strengthen bilateral ties. They expressed confidence in Vietnam’s ability to meet its development goals and promised to help identify suitable investment opportunities that align with the nation’s priorities.
As Vietnam looks to the future, its focus on global integration, innovation, and sustainable development will position it as a key player on the world stage, attracting both foreign investments and strategic partnerships.
