(VOV) -The Illinois and Missouri Houses of Senates and Representatives have spoke highly of Vietnam’s potential market and pledged to strengthen trade and economic ties with the country.
At a recent reception they were informed by Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Quoc Cuong about the bright prospects of bilateral cooperation in economy, trade and investment, especially when Vietnam, the US and some other countries are in the process of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations.
They all pledged to encourage businesses in their State to pay more attention to the Vietnamese market.
Ambassador Cuong also met with leaders, professors and students from the University of Illinois and answered all questions relating to the US policy of strategic rebalancing toward the Asia-Pacific region, Vietnam-US relations and recent developments in the East Sea.
Earlier at the Vietnam-Missouri Business Forum he briefed participants on Vietnam’s socio-economic development and its policy to attract foreign investment in high-tech, bio-tech and human resource training.
Working with Missouri Representative Vicky Hatzler and leaders in agricultural sector, Ambassador Cuong hailed the US House Committee on Agriculture’s decision to repeal the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Catfish Inspection Programme aimed at removing all non-trade barriers for tra and basa fish imported from Vietnam to the country.
Representative Hatzler welcomed the Vietnamese government’s decision to re-import white internal organs and expressed delight at the growing trade exchange between the two countries.
