The PM highlighted that the Netherlands has become the biggest European investor and the second-largest European trade partner and export market of Vietnam. He hailed the practical programmes that the Netherlands has implemented to support Vietnam in socio-economic development, poverty reduction, education and training, healthcare, climate change responses, and COVID-19 prevention and control.
PM Chinh said that he highly appreciated the business activities of Dutch enterprises in Vietnam in the past time which contributed to Vietnam's economic development and Vietnam - Netherlands relations.
He affirmed that Vietnam is always open, sincere, and willing to listen to the concerns and opinions of the foreign business community, including Dutch businesses.
Informing the guests about Vietnam's development priorities, the PM said that Vietnam and the Netherlands still have many potentials and strengths that can complement and support each other. Therefore, he called on Dutch corporations and businesses to effectively take advantage of the opportunities of the Vietnam - EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and strive to increase bilateral trade to 15 billion USD.
He hoped that Dutch businesses will connect with Vietnamese businesses in fields where the Netherlands has strengths and Vietnam has needs such as high-tech agriculture, new energy, renewable energy, semiconductor chips, climate change adaptation, shipbuilding services, seaports, shipbuilding technology, and logistics.
Chinh also asked Dutch businesses to make recommendations to Vietnam regarding how to improve the business investment environment, institutions, mechanisms, and policies to encourage businesses to apply sustainable business models, develop emerging industries, and develop a digital economy, green and circular economy, and high-quality human resources training.
The Dutch business executives requested the Vietnamese Government to continue to improving policies on taxes, visas, and administrative procedures.
They asked for specific contact points to receive support, transfer technology, and promote cooperation in the fields of shipbuilding, seaports, semiconductors, renewable energy, environmental protection, climate change response, and materials supply to Vietnam’s project on building 1 million social housing.
The businesses also hoped the Government to direct Vietnamese businesses, especially in the agricultural and food sectors, to improve product quality and implement commitments to green, clean, safe, and sustainable development. They want to purchase directly from farmers so that Vietnamese agricultural products have more opportunities to enter the Netherlands.
