Led by Mr Frédéric Sanchez, President of the France-Vietnam business council of Medef International and Chairman of the French FIVES company, the French business delegation will visit both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city.

The visit aims to promote business relations between the two countries, understand the business climate and further strengthen the partnerships with Vietnamese companies.

Some of 20 French companies are part of the delegation, with large companies such as Alcatel, Alstom, BNP Paribas, GDF Suez, SNCF along with a number of leading SMEs.

The delegation will meet with the members of the Vietnamese government in charge of the economic issues, as well as with the local private sector and the international financial institutions.
