Both sides exchanged views on the potential for cooperation in developing financial-technology infrastructure, sharing international experience, and researching operational models suited to Viet Nam's conditions. The Vietnamese side reaffirmed its commitment to building a competitive investment environment, applying superior incentive policies, and protecting the legal rights and interests of investors, thereby creating favorable conditions for international enterprises to participate more deeply in the formation of the digital financial ecosystem in Viet Nam.

The series of investment promotion activities in the U.S. during the final days of March confirmed Da Nang's proactive approach to accessing the world's most advanced financial trends. Direct dialogues with American policymakers and business leaders not only help the city refine its experimental legal framework but also create a solid foundation for Da Nang to soon become an attractive destination for global technology and financial capital.
