He expressed his desire during a reception for Jean Vincent Place, French Minister of State for State Reform and Simplification in Ho Chi Minh City on February 27.
Vietnam’s southern hub and French localities like Lyon city and Rhone-Alpes region have enjoyed robust cooperation in official training, urban planning and urban lighting, he said, expecting more cooperation between two sides in urban development and related issues like pollution, traffic, healthcare and education.
Ho Chi Minh City will accelerate the “French house” project in the city, a move which aims to promote collaboration with France, Tuyen said.
