HÀ NỘI - Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính called on US businesses to expand their investment in Việt Nam, emphasising the country’s commitment to creating a transparent and supportive business environment, while attending a roundtable in Hà Nội on March 1.

The PM reaffirmed Việt Nam’s three key commitments to foreign investors and urged US firms to embrace a “three-shared” approach --listening and understanding, sharing vision and action, and collaborating for mutual success.

The discussion aimed to assess the current situation, identify challenges and opportunities for cooperation and investment, and boost rapid and sustainable development in partnership with US enterprises.

The US is currently Việt Nam’s second-largest trading partner, a key export market, and a leading investor. Meanwhile, Việt Nam ranks as the US’s seventh-largest trading partner. A growing number of top-tier US companies, including Ford, Boeing, SpaceX, Coca-Cola, Warburg Pincus, Pacifico Energy, Gap, Mastercard, Meta, Google, Amkor Technology, and Nvidia, are expanding their presence in Việt Nam, showing their confidence in the country’s market potential. Their investments have made remarkable contributions to Việt Nam’s economic growth.

During the roundtable, representatives from the US Embassy, the American Chamber of Commerce in Việt Nam (AmCham Vietnam), and US business leaders expressed their optimism about the positive trajectory of Việt Nam-US relations, especially following the upgrade of bilateral ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Discussing Việt Nam’s economic achievements and the contributions of US businesses, the Vietnamese Government leader reiterated Việt Nam’s goal of achieving 8 per cent GDP growth in 2025, paving the way for double-digit growth in the years ahead.

The PM called on US enterprises to join Việt Nam in reaching these objectives, benefiting both sides and strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

He reaffirmed Việt Nam’s commitment to three strategic breakthroughs: improving the legal framework, developing infrastructure, and enhancing high-quality human resources. These efforts would be guided by the principles of “transparent institutions, seamless infrastructure, and smart governance and workforce.”

He also pledged to further improve the business environment to ensure fairness and openness for all economic players. VNA/VNS
