Việt Nam, China’s Hong Kong boost economic cooperation

HONG KONG — Việt Nam always rolls out red carpet for foreign investors, including those from Hong Kong (China) to invest in the country in the spirit of “harmonising interests and sharing risks”, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyễn Chí Dũng said while attending the 8th Belt and Road Summit held in Hong Kong on September 13. Meeting with Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region John Lee Ka-chiu, Dũng expressed his hope that Việt Nam and Hong Kong will work together to develop financial hubs, while promoting innovation activities in the Southeast Asian country. Dung said he hopes that Lee will visit Việt Nam at a suitable time to study and promote investments between the two sides. Lee said he will arrange to visit Việt Nam soon, and expects a visit to Hong Kong by Vietnamese leaders. Dũng also had working sessions with many Hong Kong businesses, including Sunwah, Swire Pacific, Jardine Matheson, Chow Tai Fook, and Messe Frankfurt.
