HCM City, Aussie Northern Territory seek trade links
Ho Chi Minh City
will do all it can to strengthen cooperation with Australia’s
Northern Territory in areas of mutual interest.
Chairman of the HCM City People’s Committee Le Hoang Quan made the
commitment while receiving visiting Chief Minister of Australia’s
Northern Territory Government Adam Granham Giles on October 29.
Quan described the guest’s visit as a contribution to fostering the
multifaceted ties between Australia and Vietnam in general and HCM
City in particular.
Reviewing the developing
bilateral relationship over the past time, he stressed that the two
sides still see great potential for cooperation in all areas.
The HCM City leader suggested both sides create favourable
conditions for their businesses to strengthen investment cooperation.
For his part, Adam Granham Giles said his visit aims
to determine what countries the region will promote trade ties with in
the future.
Ho Chi Minh City’s strong
development with improved living standards in recent time is a good
chance for Australia’s Northern Territory to develop trade with
the city, he noted.
He expressed his wish that the
municipal authorities will facilitate Australian businesses’ operations
in the city while affirming that his region will encourage and provide
the best conditions for those from Vietnam.
Both
host and guest agreed to entrust relevant agencies to implement
specific cooperation contents between HCM City and Australia’s
Northern Territory in the time to come. To start with, the Australian
side will welcome HCM City delegations to share experience in fire
prevention and fighting.-VNA
