In response, General Secretary To Lam praised the group's interest in a long-term investment strategy in Vietnam, contributing to increased cooperation and stronger ties between the two economies. He acknowledged Adani's proposals and suggested the group proactively engage with relevant ministries, sectors, and localities to clarify requirements and cooperative directions, thereby accelerating projects of mutual interest.
Vietnam and India are currently Comprehensive Strategic Partners. The General Secretary emphasized the many similarities in their national development strategies, both aiming to become modern, developed countries 100 years after their founding. Therefore, he suggested both sides should increase cooperation across various sectors, especially promoting economic, trade, and investment relations to their full potential.
The General Secretary shared that Vietnam is implementing strategic breakthroughs, prioritizing science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation, and private sector growth. This is in the spirit of creating favorable conditions for businesses, both domestic and foreign, to have development opportunities and contribute to the country.
"In that spirit, Vietnam always welcomes foreign businesses, including Indian businesses, to expand their investment in Vietnam," he said.
