He underlined Hanoi’s orientation to draw foreign direct investment toward advancing technology and promoting technical transfer for sustainable development. Hanoi hopes Japan will continue to run new investment projects in the capital, he added.
He also revealed the capital’s policy of boosting two-way trade and its strategies to draw tourists from Japan to Hanoi and vice versa.
