 Ha Noi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan on January 14 received officials from the Singapore-based US Chamber of Commerce who are on a working visit in Viet Nam.
The Deputy PM told his guests that cheap labour was one of major factors that helped Viet Nam over the past 20 years attract foreign investors’ attention but the advantage seems to decrease now.
“Viet Nam needs to develop a high-quality workforce for its growth,” the Deputy PM said, adding that the effort must couple with administrative reform, a perfect legal system and development of infrastructure.
The Deputy PM, dubbed as Minister of Education and Training, touched upon the issue of education, highlighting the cooperation with other countries in education and training, and training on demand.
He told the US officials that Viet Nam is focusing training in the fields of finance-banking, information technology, tourism, shipbuilding, and healthcare and will expand the model to the areas that see great demand from investors.
The head of the US official delegation, US Ambassador to Singapore, Patricia Herbold, told her host that she was very impressed with the achievements, especially economic gains, the country has made in the recent time.-Enditem
