More opportunities
Also yesterday, Triet received Saeed Al Ghurair, chief executive officer (CEO) of the United Arab Emirates' Al Ghurair Commodities LLC, who is touring Viet Nam to seek investment opportunities.
Triet said Viet Nam always welcomed investment from overseas in all aspects of the economy. However, he said he hoped enterprises from the UAE would focus on areas related to energy security, as this was one of the UAE's strengths. Meanwhile, as Viet Nam had a strong agricultural and labour sector, the nation hoped to help the UAE with issues related to food security, he said.
Saeed Al Ghurair affirmed that Al Ghurair Commodities LLC company would do its utmost to contribute to joint efforts in encouraging more UAE investors to come to Viet Nam .
He said that energy and agriculture were extremely important fields to all countries around the world, and they were fields in which UAE businesses wished to co-operate with Viet Nam, since the UAE considered Viet Nam had the potential to play an increasingly important role in global energy markets.
In the short term, Al Ghurair Commodities LLC company planned to open a representative company in Viet Nam and build a petroleum and gas base depot capable of storing 1.5-2 million tonnes, to serve as reserves for Viet Nam and to supply neighbouring countries. — VNS
