(VOV) -France is encouraging its
small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to invest in Vietnam and other
countries in Southeast Asia (SEA).
This was confirmed by the French
Minister of Foreign Trade, Mrs Nicole Bricq, at a seminar held in Paris on
October 25.

She said a French delegation will
visit Vietnam and some other nations in April 2013 to explore the potential of
the Southeast Asian market.
Participants in the seminar agreed
that SEA is a favourable destination for business investment as it is abundant
in high quality but cheap human resources.
Some considered Vietnam to be
economically dynamic as a future dragon of ASEAN.
Marc Cagnard, Director of France’s
trade promotion agency in Vietnam (Ubifrance Vietnam) said Vietnam is a great
potential market for trade exchange based on its fast industrialization and
strong consumer power.
He said some 300 French businesses
are cooperating with 400 Vietnamese partners in the fields of industry, trade,
science and technology farm production and food processing.
Nguyen Canh Cuong, a Commercial
Counsellor at the Vietnamese Embassy in France said Ubifrance is helping
Vietnam improve its investment environment so that it will soon become an
attractive and reliable destination for foreign investors.
However, he said Vietnam is not yet
placed at the top of the French list of priorities in SEA.
