Several initiatives, including those of Simco Da River Company, Viettel, Vietnam Airlines, PetroVietnam, PetroVietnam Exploration and Production Corporation (PVEP) and Viglacera Corporation, have obtained business licences thus far.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai Real Estate Development Company recently invested US$300 million in a trading, office, and housing complex in Yangon.
Ha noted that Vietnam and Myanmar needed to further promote co-operation, as Myanmar’s foreign direct investment into Vietnam has not yet reached its full potential.
He went on to say that HCM City would hold a trade fair in Yangon on the 15th and 19th of next month, to include a local business delegation in search of co-operative opportunities.
The BIDV project is expected to produce 7,000 tonnes of sugar per day in its first phase and 20,000 tones in the second phase, 30 MW of electricity and 1,000 tones of micro-organism fertilizer.
Swe said the Yangon Government would support Vietnam’s investment in Myanmar adding that authorities from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank have been supporting Myanmar in improving its banking system.
The country has also opened its market to foreign banks, especially those with already established representative offices.
According to the Vietnam News, the AVIM, including 45 leading Vietnamese businesses, was established in 2009. It has organised more than 600 trips for Vietnamese business delegations and around 2,000 entrepreneurs to Myanmar for investment co-operation purposes.
