Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung made the point on July 24 in Ha Noi at a reception for visiting Haitian Minister of Economics and Finance cum Minister of Industry and Trade Wilson Laleau.

Viet Nam said the host leader wants to link hands with Haiti to effectively implement cooperation agreements reached in various areas for practical benefits to both countries’ development.
He said Viet Nam and Haiti have enjoyed a traditional friendship and a fruitful cooperation over the past years.

“However, the two countries still see great potential for cooperation, especially in economics,” he said, suggesting they increase the exchange of all-level delegations to boost their specific cooperation activities.

The PM affirmed that Viet Nam is willing to share its experience with Haiti in socio-economic development, while encouraging and creating all possible conditions for its businesses to invest in Haiti in an equal and mutually beneficial manner.

For his part, Minister Wilson Laleau said Haiti will spare no effort to work with Viet Nam’s relevant agencies to bolster bilateral cooperation in various fields.

He expressed his wish that Viet Nam will share its good experiences and models with Haiti in socio-economic development, education and training, and vocational training.

The guest leader took the occasion to seek supports from the Vietnamese government and relevant agencies to create favorable conditions for Vietnamese businesses to seek investment opportunities in Haiti.
Haiti always welcomes Vietnamese firms to run long-term business in the country, especially in construction, garments, telecommunications and maritime transport, he said.

The minister suggested the two sides further promote trade, confirming that his country is ready to serve as a gateway for Vietnamese goods to penetrate into Central and South American markets./.
