Participants at the event reviewed the Japanese investment flows in Vietnam and discuss ways to boost the bilateral investment link in the context of the complicated development of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world and in Vietnam in particular.

Representatives from Da Nang City and Ho Chi Minh City also introduced the Japanese firms to their business investment environment, as well as their efforts and achievements in containing the pandemic while maintaining economic development.

The event aimed to provide a direct information exchange channel for businesses and investors in order to update them on the COVID-19 situation in Vietnam, thus boosting effective coordination with local authorities and relevant agencies in maintaining safe business and production activities amidst the pandemic.
