He told his host that the State Bank of Vietnam will consider ABC’s proposal to open a branch in the country.
Zhou described Vietnam as China’s largest trade partner in the ASEAN, adding that the ABC has joined a number of projects to elevate bilateral economic and trade ties.
He wished that the Vietnamese government would facilitate ABC’s credit activities in Vietnam in the near future.
During a meeting with Asia Director of Zhongxing Corporation Fan Hu and Vice President of Huawei Corporation Wanghui, the PM asked the two leading Chinese telecommunications firms to forge closer ties with Vietnamese partners.
He said he supports their proposal to join hands with Vietnamese localities to build smart cities and transport systems in Vietnam.
