Deputy PM Ninh appreciated Walmart's attention to the Vietnamese market and its intention to buy Vietnamese goods for its outlets in other countries. This is not only an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to sell their products but also helps them improve skills and production technology, he noted.
The Deputy PM stated that Vietnam will create favourable conditions for Walmart to invest in Vietnam as its presence in the country will help boost domestic production.
