With the view that economic-trade-investment cooperation is the foundation and "eternal engine" of the Vietnam-US comprehensive strategic partnership, during his working trip, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh spent all possible time promoting economic cooperation with the US.

Along with chairing the Vietnam - US business forums and holding talks with US businesses, the Prime Minister visited and worked with the world's leading technology and semiconductor chip manufacturing corporations in Silicon Valley; had meetings and had working meals with leaders of many large corporations and investment funds from the US and the world; visited and rang the opening bell of trading sessions at the world's two leading stock exchanges, New York and NASDAQ...

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that in the coming time, there will be a new wave of investment from American enterprises - the world's leading enterprises with financial, technological, market potential... in the fields that Vietnam desires, which are innovative technology, semiconductor chips, renewable energy, environment, healthcare, education - training...

For Brazil, the Prime Minister's visit opens up new directions in promoting cooperative relations, deepening the comprehensive partnership, especially economic, trade and investment cooperation.

In particular, Brazil has the potential to be a gateway for Vietnam to penetrate Latin American markets, while Vietnam is the door for Brazil to enter ASEAN and Asian countries, hoping to connect trade between the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and ASEAN.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the signing of the FTA between Vietnam and MERCOSUR will create a breakthrough in economic, trade and investment cooperation between Vietnam and Brazil. President Lula da Silva expressed his intention to discuss this issue with other MERCOSUR partners during Brazil's tenure as MERCOSUR's rotating chairmanship.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's working trip conveyed the great message of the Party, State and Government of Vietnam to the US, Brazil and international friends about a peaceful, cooperative and integrated Vietnam, participating more actively, proactively and effectively in international processes, making important contributions to the Vietnam - UN, Vietnam - US, Vietnam - Brazil relations according to the foreign policy of the 13th National Party Congress.
