(VOV) - US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker began a one-day visit to Vietnam on June 2 in a bid to accelerate Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement negotiations.
Pritzker, who is accompanied by leading retail giants including ACE, Qualcomm and Mead Johnson Nutrition, is scheduled to meet with the State President, Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade.
US business representatives will hold discussions with the President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee and leaders of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Planning and Investment, and Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Alexander Feldman, President of the US-ASEAN Business Council, said on June 1 that the visit demonstrates the US business community’s trust in economic development prospects in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and the Philippines.
It also reaffirms US businesses’ long-term investment commitment in Vietnam and the Southeast Asian region.
