HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary Tô Lâm on Friday suggested US-based Pacifico Energy (PE) further expand its cooperation and investment in Việt Nam, including new energy transition projects, while expediting ongoing initiatives. 

Hosting PE founder and CEO Nate Franklin in Hà Nội, the Parader praised PE’s contributions to Việt Nam's renewable energy sector and the broader Việt Nam-US partnership. 

He affirmed that the US is one of Việt Nam's most important economic partners, and the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework between the two countries is creating new opportunities and space for US businesses to invest and operate in the Southeast Asian nation

The Party chief reiterated Việt Nam's vision of becoming an upper middle-income country with a modern industrial base by 2030 and a developed nation with high income by 2045. To achieve these goals, Việt Nam is committed to facilitating investment through institutional reforms. The country also remains steadfast in its pledge to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

For his part, Franklin said Việt Nam holds vast potential for offshore wind power, adding the group is committed to advancing surveys and project development to support the country's pursuit of double-digit economic growth.
