PM: Viet Nam will facilitate more investment from RoK

HA NOI — Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung yesterday affirmed that the Vietnamese Government would create favourable conditions for businesses from the Republic of Korea to invest in Viet Nam.
While receiving Yeon June-Churl, special envoy of the president and chairman of the RoK’s Board of Audit and Inspection, Prime Minister Dung said he hoped that in 2010, when Viet Nam and the RoK celebrate their 20th anniversary of diplomatic ties, the RoK would rank first among foreign countries and territories in Viet Nam in terms of the number of investors.
He also expressed his pleasure that after 15 years of establishing diplomatic ties, the Viet Nam-RoK relations had developed in all areas.
At present, the RoK ranks third in the number of large-scale investments in Viet Nam. RoK investors have poured around US$8 billion into more than 1,000 projects.
The special envoy conveyed a letter to the Prime Minister from the RoK president, in which the president proposed that Viet Nam support the RoK in hosting the 2012 International Exhibition, themed "Sea and Ocean".
Yeon June-Churl thanked the Vietnamese Government for its assistance to more than 1,000 RoK businesses in Viet Nam and expressed his wish that Viet Nam would provide further support for them to operate efficiently. — VNS
