Vietnam is a big investor in Myanmar, particularly in real estate, banking and telecommunications, the PM said, asking Myanmar to facilitate the Vietnamese bank branch there, as well as companies investing in telecommunications.
He also called on the countries to expand cooperation to petroleum and aviation industries.
PM Phuc said his country has strength in agricultural production and wants to cooperate and share experience with Myanmar in this sphere, especially coffee and pepper cultivation and processing. The two sides can also partner in producing rice seeds, sugar, ethanol and electricity, planting and processing cotton, and developing rubber trees.
Wishing the new ambassador a successful term, the host leader said the Vietnamese Government would provide optimum conditions for him to fulfill his tasks.
For his part, Kyaw Soe Win pledged utmost efforts to contribute to the countries’ sound connections, especially in economy, investment and trade.
As his country is developing its economy, it wants to attract foreign investors, including those from Vietnam, he said, assuring that the Myanmar Government always creates the best possible conditions for Vietnamese businesses.
Myanmar hopes to learn from Vietnam’s agricultural development experience in order to foster its own agriculture.
The two countries should increase the exchange of high-ranking delegations to promote bilateral ties, the diplomat noted.
