Nasdaq seeks to strengthen cooperation with Vietnamese government, businesses

New York, May 7 (VNA) – The US continues to view Vietnam as a key and promising market, said Vice Chairman of the Nasdaq Bob McCooey during a working session with Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN, held at the stock exchange headquarters in New York on May 5 (local time).

McCooey expressed strong admiration for Vietnam’s recent achievements, particularly in economic development and international integration. He praised the Vietnamese Government’s ongoing efforts to create a more favourable environment for foreign investors, including many major US corporations and enterprises that are successfully operating in the Southeast Asian country.

He affirmed his confidence in the ability of both the Vietnamese Government and its business community to overcome current challenges, maintaining Vietnam’s status as one of the US’s leading economic and trade partners.

McCooey also expressed Nasdaq’s wish to work closely with the State Securities Commission of Vietnam to effectively implement the cooperation agreement signed in 2023. He voiced hope that more reputable and large-scale Vietnamese companies would list on the Nasdaq in the near future.

Ambassador Giang lauded the close collaboration between Nasdaq and Vietnam’s Permanent Mission to the UN and other representative offices in New York, particularly in co-hosting various events, forums, and seminars featuring senior Vietnamese leaders and businesses.

In light of current challenges facing enterprises from both countries, stemming from recent US policy changes that have yet to support bilateral cooperation, the diplomat called on Nasdaq to continue facilitating connections between US and international companies listed on the exchange and potential partners in Vietnam./.
