This expo will give us bigger trade and investment opportunities, because we've made better preparation.

At the trade fair, we'll seize all opportunities to boost our export, tourism, and attract more investors and visitors from China and other members of ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations).

We expect to attract many foreign tourists and investors, especially Chinese ones. Besides tourism, we'll promote our rich natural resources. This time, we'll focus on zinc exploration and exploitation.

We want to free up trade and investment, and to simplify customs controls, access, standards and paperwork.

We now have an explosion of new trade and investment incentives - currently 15 under implementation, close to 10 signed, more than 20 under negotiation and at least 16 more proposed.

A lot of times the bonds trade closer to investment grade before the actual ratings get there. The market has already baked it in.
