Former French Ambassador to Vietnam Jean-Noël Poirier has highlighted the significance of Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s recent visit to France, saying that it attracted French businesses’ interest. 

In an interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) Poirier, who is now working as a foreign investment consultant in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, affirmed that PM Chinh’s trip was a great success and it achieved the set targets.

He said that Vietnam is a stable country with hard-working and well-educated people, adding that French businesses can find qualified engineers and directors to run large-scale companies.

The former French diplomat said many French companies have begun to consider the possibility of returning to markets abroad and looking into Southeast Asian countries, especially Vietnam.

Vietnam’s political and social situation has always been stable, he said, noting that this is the reason why foreign businesses will have little risk when investing in Vietnam.
