With its advantages such as a large population and an important role in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Vietnam is speeding up administrative and institutional reforms to create the most favorable environment for foreign businesses, including those from the U.S., she said.

In the current period, Vietnam invites partners to invest under new-generation free trade agreements, and carries out policies on green transformation, digital transformation, and sustainable development. Therefore, it hopes the group will have innovations in technology, corporate governance, and human resources training, Xuan said.

The Vice President also expressed her hope that Ford Vietnam will continue to carry out community activities to support customers and people, especially in remote and disadvantaged areas.
