He is accompanied by Kimberly Reed, Chairman and President of the US Export-Import Bank, along with other officials of a number of US departments of finance, commerce, state, and energy.

Boehler is scheduled to meet government officials and business executives of the host countries to look into investment opportunities and ways of increasing cooperation and spurring economic growth.

The DFC has committed to increasing investment in the Indo-Pacific, considering it a priority in its development strategy for the sake of long-term prosperity and security in the region.

Boehler visited Vietnam in January this year. He told Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc at the January 8 reception that US President Donald Trump has highly valued cooperation with Vietnam.

He voiced his commitment to invest in Vietnam, especially in the fields of energy, health, and infrastructure. As Vietnam takes the role of the ASEAN Chair in 2020, the DFC desires to cooperate with the Southeast Asian nation to invest in infrastructure connecting five countries in the Mekong region.

Through previous meetings with Vietnamese ministries, branches and authorities, he highly appreciated Vietnam’s improved legal framework on PPP investment, thereby facilitating private investment.
