Clarifying the issues of Warburg Pincus’s concern about the cooperation capability of Vietnamese companies, macro-economic stability, infrastructure, and logistics, the PM affirmed that the Vietnamese Government is ready to hold dialogue with enterprises so as to field their questions and help them operate successfully in the country, which shows mutual trust, sincerity, sense of responsibility, and win-win cooperation.
