It is necessary to focus on such industries as shipbuilding, steel rolling, supportive industries, financial service, banking, and seaport, he suggested.

The PM asked the city's agencies and bodies to seriously consider and find out the reasons of ineffective attraction of direct investment. According to the PM, it is important to promote administrative reform, especially administrative procedures, which is a vital measure to increase foreign investment. Attention should be paid to education, vocational training, and job generation, he added.

With her successes in poverty alleviation, Vietnam is selected by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the New Asian-African Partnership (NAAP) as a good example for Middle East and African developing countries to follow.
In economic cooperation, Vietnam and these countries have gained many significant achievements, especially in exchanging experts and laborers. At present, around 20,000 Vietnamese laborers and experts are working in Middle East and Africa.
Addressing the Conference, Deputy PM Phạm Gia Khiêm asked Vietnamese sectors and agencies at all echelons, from central to local, to increase their awareness of the importance of boosted comprehensive cooperation with Middle East and Africa in the time to come. Vietnam should take specific measures to realize the Plan on Vietnam-Middle East Relationship in 2007-2010 and the National Action Program on Vietnam-Africa Cooperation (stage II), concentrating on some major fields, such as trade exchanges, labor export, investment cooperation, and promoting investments from Middle East and Africa in Vietnam and vice versa.
The Deputy PM also suggested to set up the action plans with short and medium-term targets and roadmaps in order to deepen the relations with African and Middle East countries by 2010.

She was convinced that Vietnam will quickly advance from a developing country to a developed one with a sustainable economy soon. So, Denmark will shift from granting aids to Vietnam to boosting economic and commercial cooperation and developing private economic sectors.
The Danish Minister informed that Denmark had ratified the Strategy to Support Vietnam's Development up to 2010. The two countries will negotiate for follow-up supports, focusing on environmental protection, development of private economy, cooperation in natural disaster and HIV/AIDS control.
