During a reception in the city on May 14 for new JBAH President Okada Hideyuki,
Phong said HCM City’s leaders always appreciate feedback from domestic and
foreign enterprises, including Japanese firms operating in the city, in order to
improve the business environment.
He asked Hideyuki to comprehensively identify difficulties regarding taxation
and social insurance faced by Japanese firms operating in the city so that
relevant authorities can discuss them in the upcoming round-table conference.
Phong hoped that JBAH would introduce prestigious investors to the city in
fields of its interest such as manufacturing and processing, as well as that
Japan and Ho Chi Minh City will actively partner in economy, trade, and
investment, including building more impressive works in the city.
Hideyuki, for his part, said JBAH now has 1,025 member companies. He lauded the
city’s efforts to hold the annual round-table conference to listen to Japanese
firms’ feedback to improve the local business climate.
He affirmed that the Japanese enterprises operating in the city are ready to
partner with the municipal authorities in the efforts, adding that JBAH’s
leaders want to establish more business liaison boards to improve the efficiency
of bilateral economic, trade, and investment ties.
