UNCTAD Hails Vietnam's FDI Attraction
09/05/2009 08:23 am
CA - Vietnam is a good example in foreign direct
investment (FDI) attraction with its impressive FDI figures, said the
General Secretary of the United Nation Conference of Trade and
Development (UNCTAD).
Vietnam’s experiences in FDI attraction should be
introduced to other countries, suggested UNCTAD General Secretary
Supachai Pamitchpakdi at a meeting with Vietnamese Minister of Planning
and Investment Vo Hong Phuc in Geneva on May 4.
The official believed that Vietnam would maintain FDI wave in the years to come based on major commitments in 2008.
He also affirmed UNCTAD’s technical assistance to
Vietnam in its investment policies, noting that the UN body would
support Vietnam in implementing next steps for investment environment
improvement.
Minister Phuc hoped that UNCTAD will boost its
coordination with Vietnam in luring FDI by providing information of
Vietnam’s investment for foreign investors via its programs.
Earlier, Minister Phuc had met with the President
of the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA),
Alessandro Teixeira to discuss opportunities and potentials for the
cooperation between the two sides.
WAIPA said it will send a delegation of business leaders to the Southeast Asian nation to survey investment conditions.
The international consulting group KPMG in a
just-released statement said Vietnam remains an attractive destination
for foreign direct investment (FDI) despite the global economic
turmoil,
