Only some 30 per cent of enterprises in Vietnam’s supporting industry have joined global supply chains and value chains, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade. This shows that the link between local and foreign enterprises is yet to be fully developed.
In an address to the 4th Vietnam Economic Forum on June 5, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that Vietnam does not have a closed economy and insists on innovation, opening up, and building economic independence and self-reliance associated with extensive, substantive, and effective international integration. Domestic and foreign enterprises have both become key in building an autonomous and integrated economy. He also touched on the need to have a healthy and safe environment to support businesses in their development process.
