Vietnam to develop supporting industry selectively
Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnam regards supporting industry a driving force for national industrialisation and modernisation and a foundation for sustainable development of its major industries to 2020, a senior government official has said.
Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang made the remarks at the first
National Seminar on "Action Plan for Development of Supporting Industry of
Vietnam," in Hanoi on Sept. 5.
Hoang, however, stressed that supporting industry must be developed
selectively, taking into account the country's potential and strength and
international labour distribution.
As a leading country in building supporting industry, Japan , at the
seminar, showed eagerness to help Vietnam develop this industry.
Kenichi Ohno, Project Leader, Vietnam Development Forum (VDF), of Japan ,
proposed specific supportive moves to translate his country's intention into
deeds.
These include building business capacity, developing human resources,
promoting the relationships between FDI and local businesses, formulating
legal framework, and adopting financial incentives for businesses.
" Vietnam is no longer a transitional and low-income country. So, the
Japan-Vietnam cooperation should shift to creating a new resource to fuel
competition", Ohno said.
In doing so, Ohno pointed to the need to establish a Vietnam-Japan
partnership which is modelled on "Monozukuri" (Japanese art of
manufacturing) to assist Vietnam in implementing its supporting industry
master plan which was approved by the Prime Minister last July.
For its part, the Planning Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Trade
suggested that the Vietnam-Japan cooperation programme on developing
supporting industry focus on the manufacturing of electronics, office
equipment, vehicles and motorbikes, and precise mechanical engineering
products.
The Institute also suggested bilateral cooperation in training, transfer of
governance skills and technology, cooperation between Vietnamese and
Japanese businesses and infrastructure development.
The seminar was co-organised by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(VCCI) and the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO).-
