Meanwhile, leaders of Bac Giang and Kien Giang provinces also informed participants about their current partnership with OV businesses in exporting the local products to other countries, while highlighting the investment opportunities in the localities.
At the event, many OV entrepreneurs in Thailand showed their interest in investing in Vietnam, especially in service and tourism sectors.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Pham Quang Hieu, who is also Chairman of the State Committee for OV Affairs, said that he hopes the OV community around the world will continue to help promote Vietnamese products in their host countries, while considering the investment in the homeland, especially in green and sustainable development, industry, high technology and renovation, thus making contributions to the national construction.
Hieu suggested ministries, sectors and localities continue stepping up OV affairs and make their environment more favourable and friendly for the community to invest in.
The dialogue was the initiative of the State Committee for OV Affairs, the Trade Promotion Agency, the Foreign Investment Agency and the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand./.
