Finnish PM Starts Vietnam Visit Today to Boost Economic Ties
Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhansen arrived in Hanoi on November 15, for an official two-day visit to beef up the bilateral cooperation.
The Finnish leader held talks with his host counterpart Nguyen Tan Dung and Vietnamese senior officials on November 16 on measures to boost economic, trade and investment ties.
PM Matti is scheduled to attend a Vietnam-Finland business forum in Ho Chi Minh City Nov. 17 and witness the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Vietnam’s ministry of planning and investment and Finland’s ministry of employment and the economy.
The two countries’ cooperation in trade and investment is considered to be still modest. Two-way trade reached merely US$240 million in 2008 while Finland has so far had six investment projects valued at US$60 million in the Southeast Asian nation. (Chinhphu.vn)
