A workshop on investment opportunities in Vietnam was held in Sakon Nakhon province, Thailand, on Nov. 8, attracting businesses from Thai northeastern region. 
 

According to Vietnamese counselor Tan Anh Vu, the northeast of Thailand and the central region of Vietnam have developed close and effective cooperation.

The tran-Asia roads running through the Mekong region has helped increased trade value between the two countries.

Vietnam ’s international border gates, such as Cau Treo, Lao Bao and Bo Y have facilitated the transportation of Thai goods to other ASEAN members, northeast Asian, African and European countries.

Vietnam and Thailand should tighten business and investment cooperation in the context of the on-going global financial crisis, Vu said, adding that special focus should be made on promotion of trade, investment and tourism cooperation along the East-West corridor.

Thai businesses showed their interest in Vietnam’s policy on customs, import and export and initiatives goods transited via Vietnamese international seaports.
