Vietnam's ambassador to the United States will be in Atlanta this week to meet with major businesses including Georgia Power, UPS and GE Energy. Nguyen Quoc Cuong plans to discuss nuclear power, supply chain and logistics development and alternative energy. On Friday morning, he is scheduled to lead a roundtable discussion with the Metro Atlanta Chamber. Organizers hope to connect the ambassador with local companies seeking economic opportunities in Vietnam, as the nation is significantly boosting its spending on infrastructure, engineering and other sectors.
