Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh rang the bell to open the September 22 trading session at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in New York and met with leading officials and representatives from several businesses introduced by the exchange, the Government News has reported.

He proposed that Nasdaq intensify its cooperation with the State Securities Commission of Vietnam and other relevant agencies.

The Prime Minister emphasized that one of the important elements of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and the US is promoting economic, trade, and investment relations. The two sides have also identified science and technology and innovation as fields of breakthrough cooperation.

He called on US businesses to enhance their investment in Vietnam in priority sectors such as startups, innovation, science and technology, education and training, digital transformation, the circular economy, and energy transition.

Vietnam will create the most favorable conditions possible for investors through the implementation of three strategic breakthroughs: perfecting institutions, mechanisms and policies, developing modern and comprehensive infrastructure, and training high-quality human resources; speeding up administrative reform; and protecting the legal and legitimate rights and interests of investors and helping them reduce costs, increase their competitiveness, and operate effectively and sustainably, the Prime Minister added.
