Talking of the development of the London financial market, Mayor John Stuttard pointed out that this is one of the world's biggest financial market where more than 2,000 foreign financial companies are operating. The guest expressed his desire to cement ties with Vietnam's financial sector and speed up the development of the country's capital market.

PM Nguyễn Tấn Dũng briefed Vietnam's potentialities and achievements over the recent years. At present, with her young labor force, Vietnam is a good attraction for foreign investors. Many among over 8,000 investment projects worth of nearly US$ 80 billion in Vietnam come from English companies and enterprises.

The PM asked Mr. John Stuttard to help Vietnam develop her capital market and stock market. He showed his confidence that British financial companies will have more better conditions to invest in Vietnam. Vietnamese authorities, from central to local levels, will back British investors in particular and foreign ones in general to do business profitably in Vietnam, confirmed the PM.
