The newswire claimed the Vietnamese government has asked a clutch of investment banks, including HSBC and Rothschild, to advise it on selling its shares in Vinamilk.

Officials at Vinamilk had not returned a request for comment at the time of writing.

Last month, Singapore-based food and beverage group Fraser and Neave, which owns just over 11% of Vinamilk, said it was open to upping its stake in the company.

In August, Vinamilk reported a 29% increase in second-quarter net profit to VND2.8trn. Net sales for the second quarter was VND11.6trn compared to VND10trn for the same period last year.
