The office said a separate mid-term Vietnam Business Forum (VBF) for the domestic and foreign business community will be held next Monday (June 1) in Ho Chi Minh City.

The topics for discussion will include impressions from local and foreign firms on the current business environment, the administration reform project’s survey on administrative obstacles for businesses and investors, and a discussion on banking and capital markets, manufacturing, and distribution and tourism.

Last year’s CG meeting was held in Hanoi from December 4-5 where donor countries and international development organizations committed over US$5 billion in support of Vietnam’s poverty reduction and development agenda.
