Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang emphasized that Switzerland is not only a key economic partner but also a long-term companion in Vietnam’s journey toward green and sustainable development.

Vietnam is holding great opportunities across multiple potential sectors, offering new momentum for enterprises from both sides to form partnerships in key areas, said President of the Swiss-Vietnamese Economic Forum (SVEF) Philipp Rösler.

Vinh Long province is home to 188 active foreign direct investment (FDI) projects from 24 countries, with a total registered capital of 5.74 billion USD, but none yet from Switzerland.

Vietnam is moving to establish an international financial centre in Ho Chi Minh and Da Nang, two of its most dynamic cities, a plan that includes controlled trial for digital assets which is attracting interest from Swiss investors.

The Swiss-Vietnamese Economic Forum (SVEF) and the Embassy of Vietnam in Switzerland has organised a dialogue between Vietnamese provinces and Swiss partners to explore the potential for cooperation between Vietnamese and Swiss localities.

Celebrating 35 years of cooperation, Switzerland launches a new development initiative for Vietnam.

The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has dispatched a team of six experts from the Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit to Vietnam and earmark 1 million CHF (about 1.1 million USD) to support people affected by Typhoon Yagi.

The programme aims to develop the Vietnamese tourism industry in general and high-quality human resources in the tourism and hospitality sector in particular in a more sustainable and comprehensive manner.

Officials, economic experts and academicians of Vietnam and Switzerland will examine opportunities to foster economic, trade and investment cooperation between the two countries at a joint forum due to take place in Zurich, Switzerland, on June 4.
