The Vietnamese government has devised many solutions to improve the country’s investment and business environment in a bird to lure more foreign investors, especially those from Japan, he said.
To cooperate sustainably with Japanese partners, Vietnamese firms need to invest more in science and technology to better the quality of their products and make their production more professional, Thanh suggested.
They should also boost linkages to meet the demand for materials from Japanese businesses, he stressed.
