He added that the Government is intensifying administrative reform and other efforts to improve business investment environment and facilitate business development for foreign investors, especially those from the US.

The Deputy PM hoped Nike will expand the list of raw materials sourced from Vietnam, increase the local content of its products, and help Vietnamese businesses improve capacity to join the group’s supply chains.
Chris Helzer said Nike’s factory in Vietnam is the largest and most important of its kind worldwide.
Besides business operation, Nike also pays attention to social activities and has coordinated with some schools in Vietnam to implement programmes developing sport and outdoor activities for Vietnamese children, he said.
He also asked the Vietnamese National Assembly to early ratify the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA)./
