The event is also a practical platform for businesses to boost international economic integration since both countries have become members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the ASEAN Economic Community, he noted. 
The forum will also focus on Vietnam’s consistent efforts to improve the investment environment. 
Four panel discussions to be moderated by industry leaders, experts and government officials will be focused on four key topics: financial services, processing and manufacturing, real estate development, tourism and hospitality.
