On May 15, 2020, the Minister of Planning and Investment met Ambassador Mr.
Yamada Takio (Japan) on the occasion of starting his working term in Vietnam.
The parties spent time welcoming and sharing a number of problems that need to
be resolved to promote investment activities between the two countries in
the context of the Covid-19 epidemic, including promoting public investment,
promoting investment in the private sector, attracting investors to set up company, factory and implement investment into export
processing zones in Vietnam.
The Ambassador said
there are currently more than a thousand Japanese experts who wish to have work
permit, investment visa, temporary residence card to go to Vietnam to restore
business production. In addition, Japanese small and medium enterprises are
very interested in the Vietnam market. Japan Government has provided 23.5
billion yen (USD 220 million) to encourage domestic enterprises to transfer
production activities to Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, which is
an opportunity for Vietnam to attract FDI to register investment project in
setting up factory in Vietnam.
Following the the
investment shift after the US-China Trade war (2019) and the Covid-19 epidemic,
many Japanese investors intend to withdraw from China to invest in Vietnam to set up factory,
and company and form a new supply chain. Accordingly, Vietnam
will have a plan to create a working group to attract Japanese enterprises to
invest in the fields and provinces that Vietnam wishes to contribute more to
the socio-economic development of Vietnam. In 2019, Japan is the fourth-largest
FDI country in Vietnam, the second largest investment partner in Vietnam
implementing the project, with a total investment of USD 59.3 billion.
With its advantages and
experience, Japanese investors are investing in
Vietnam in the fields of professional science, technology,
information technology, wholesale, retail, engineering and real estate. These
industries are the advantages of Japanese investors when investing in Vietnam,
which it not only brings benefits to investors but also helps Vietnam to learn
management experience and operation from Japan, helping Vietnam to apply to
develop the domestic economy.
The Vietnamese
representative emphasized the importance to attract Japanese enterprises to
invest smoothly and successfully in Vietnam, including large and small and
medium-sized enterprises to contribute more to the socio-economic development
of Vietnam. At the same time, the Ministry of Planning and Investment continued
to work closely with the Embassy as well as with the Ambassador’s individual to
bring closer cooperation between the two countries.
