During a reception for Senator Victor Oh, Chairman of the Canada-Vietnam Parliamentary Friendship Group, who is on a working trip to the southern metropolis, Hoan highlighted that there remains great potential and opportunities for trade and investment cooperation between Vietnam and Canada, and between Ho Chi Minh City and Canadian localities in particular.
The host thanked Senator Oh and his colleagues for their support for HCM City’s delegation during its working trip to Canada in June, which achieved many positive outcomes.
He called for support from the senator to promote trade ties and the exchange of business delegations between Ho Chi Minh City and Canadian localities, thus strengthening mutual understanding and making it easier for the two sides to explore opportunities for investment cooperation, towards realising commitments to promoting economic cooperation between the two countries.
For his part, Senator Oh said Canadian companies consider Vietnam as a top investment destination in ASEAN and are eager to expand investment and trade cooperation with Ho Chi Minh City.
He affirmed that as a co-chair of the Canada-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentary Group, he will do his utmost to support Ho Chi Minh City in stepping up economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges with Canadian localities.
Oh highly valued the significance of the Ho Chi Minh City Economic Forum 2023’s theme of green growth, especially in the context of climate change having a severe impact worldwide.
Many businesses within the Vietnamese business community in Vancouver and Toronto of Canada have experience and strengths in green and sustainable growth areas, he said, stressing that this presents a favourable opportunity for Ho Chi Minh City to promote connections and partnerships in the future.
