Vietnam would create the best environment to welcome investment from China, said Vietnamese Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung here Thursday.

        Nguyen Sinh Hung made such remarks while attending the 6th Small-and-Medium Enterprise Expo (SMEE) held here in Yulin, a city in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

        Nguyen Sinh Hung expressed the hope that Guangxi and Vietnam would seek further cooperation in trade and investment with new investment policies, especially in tourism.

       The establishment of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area would be an important opportunity for China and Vietnam to enhance trade and investment ties, and Vietnam would build the best environment for Chinese investors, he said.

       Economic cooperation between Vietnam and Guangxi had been enhanced in recent years, and it is the third time for Vietnamese leaders to attend the SMEE.
