Delegation of sixteen Australian companies to visit Hanoi

Hanoi (VNA)- A delegation of sixteen Australian companies will visit Hanoi on May
23-25 to explore project opportunities in Vietnam’s development sector, the
Australian embassy said on May 21.

The companies, which provide technical assistance to projects as diverse as
energy, water, infrastructure, environmental management, education and training
and health, will meet with officials from the World Bank, Asian Development Bank,
Vietnamese ministries and bilateral donors to hear about Vietnam’s development
priorities, key strategies and future projects.

The visit is part of the Developing Vietnam 2010 , the first mission of its kind
that the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) has brought to Vietnam and was
formed in response to the growing interest of Australian companies in Vietnam’s
development sector and the success of a similar mission to the ADB headquarters in
Manila.
Tony Burchill, Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner to Vietnam said,
“With an active development sector playing a key role in Vietnam’s
continued transformation, this mission helps Australian companies further
their understanding of future development strategies and project
opportunities and introduces key stakeholders in Hanoi to a large number of
reputable, reliable project partners.”-Enditem
