Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha highly appreciated the visit of Walmart Group's leaders at a special time when Vietnam and the United States have just established a comprehensive strategic partnership during the state visit of US President Joe Biden at the invitation of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

Recently, Walmart Group has had many investment and business activities in Vietnam, especially forming a supply chain for export consumer goods.

Mr. Avaneesh Gupta affirmed that the support policies of the Vietnamese Government have created favorable conditions for Walmart to form and operate smoothly production and supply chains of goods in Vietnam for export to world markets such as textiles, consumer goods, food, etc.

Appreciating Walmart's scale of operations in the world, the Deputy Prime Minister said that with its strengths in labor resources, infrastructure, and socio-political stability, Vietnam has become one of the largest consumer goods manufacturing and exporting countries in the world.

Vietnamese manufacturers and suppliers have the potential and capacity to access the entire production process (raw materials, design, production, marketing, etc.). This is an important foundation for Vietnamese enterprises, together with leading retail corporations such as Walmart, to form a synchronous, comprehensive, holistic, sustainable "ecosystem" with a long-term commitment to sharing benefits from the consumer goods supply chain.

"We need to ensure clear and long-term cooperation among parties in the ecosystem; clearly define the responsibilities and tasks of the Government, ministries, branches, localities, enterprises, etc.," the Deputy Prime Minister said, affirming that by participating in 17 free trade agreements, Vietnam fully complies with its commitments on labor, environment, etc.

Discussing further about the strong development of e-commerce in Vietnam, the Deputy Prime Minister affirmed that the Government is continuing to direct ministries and branches to develop regulations and standards to ensure the safety and interests of consumers when participating in transactions in this market.
