Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung affirmed that Vietnam would continue to further improve the business and investment environment, expand its regional and international integration.

For his part, Cedrik Neike appreciated the support of the Vietnamese government, ministries and sectors for Siemens, particularly the government’s efforts in enhancing investment and the business environment.

He said that at present, Siemens is operating effectively in the field of energy, especially thermal power and operation of power grids. Vietnam is not only a potential market for Siemens products, but is also a very attractive market to expand production investment and export products to other markets around the world.
