Israeli businessmen pleased with conditions in VN shipshape

Hanoi (VNA) - One of Israel 's top businessmen said his country
should develop more trade with Vietnam , at a meeting here on July 17.

Rami Ungar said Israeli and Vietnamese enterprises should promote
cooperation in hi-tech industries, ship building, sea transport,
construction, property, securities, insurance and tourism.

The Israeli billionaire also shared his views on Vietnamese and global
economies, as well as his own experience in doing business, at the event,
co-organised by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Israeli
Embassy in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese economy was impacted by fluctuations in the world market,
he said, predicting that the country would overcome these difficulties in
the next two or three years.

The Ray Shipping Co, one of his three companies, inked a 1 billion USD
ship-building contract worth with the Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group in
2006. As scheduled, Vinashin delivered a series of car carriers in June this
year.

shipbuilding technologies could contribute to the Vietnamese industry.

Lines (Vinaline) said that his company wanted to co-operate with the Israeli
company in seaport development.-Endtem
