This is in addition to facilitating domestic travel for experts, approaching vaccine sources, and dealing with administrative procedures, taxes and fees.

The Vietnamese Government will continue to redouble efforts to resolve the proposals made by US businesses and stays ready to respond to if conditions allow, Chinh said, emphasizing that what has been done must be done better.

PM Chinh also asked the Chargé d'Affaires and US businesses to boost closer coordination with Vietnamese ministries, sectors and localities so as to effectively implement pandemic containment measures, maintain production activities, ensure social welfare for workers and facilitate Vietnamese businesses' investment in the US.
