HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam is committed to creating favourable conditions for Japanese businesses to invest in the country, Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc told Kanji Hayama, former president of the Japan’s Taisei Corp., in Hà Nội yesterday.

Recalling the company’s efforts in handling the collapse of the Cần Thơ Bridge 10 years ago, Phúc lauded Taisei’s contributions to Việt Nam’s socio-economic growth via its construction of many large-scale infrastructure projects.
