"We expect foreign-invested enterprises and French investors to continue to strengthen linkages and create conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to participate in the supply chain production, contributing to turning Vietnam into a center in regional and global value chains,” he said.

Following the seminar, Ambassador Thang had a working session with Luc Rémont, Vice President of Schneider Electric, during which Remont affirmed the group's commitment to expanding business and investment activities in Vietnam.

Rémont expressed his wish that the group will continue to receive active cooperation from the Vietnamese Embassy in France.
