Speaking at the event, Nghi said that the forum, an important activity within the framework of the 12th Vietnam-Algeria Inter-Governmental Committee, is a substantive and important opportunity for both sides to exchange information and learn about each other’s trade and investment incentives, priority areas and potential projects.
Ali Aoun informed participants about the direction that Algeria is taking to develop its economy and attract investment.
Currently, Algeria has many policies for industry, mining, agricultural processing, tourism, renewable energy, housing, basic infrastructure, and offers incentives for small- and medium-sized enterprises, and startups, he added.
At the forum, the countries' experts clarified mechanisms and policies for businesses in both Vietnam and Algeria.
