HCM City (VNA) – On the back of the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, Ho Chi Minh City always values the strengthening of exchanges and cooperation with Chinese localities, affirmed Vice Chairman of the municipal People's Committee Vo Van Hoan.

During a ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of China's National Day (October 1) hosted by the Chinese Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City September 16, Hoan congratulated China on great and significant achievements the Chinese Party, State and people have obtained over the past 75 years. He believed that under the "core" leadership of Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping, the Chinese people will continue to unite and strive toward accomplishing goals and tasks set by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Ho Chi Minh City hopes to become a promising destination for more Chinese investors, with a focus on strengthening ties across industrial transformation, digital transformation, smart city development, infrastructure, innovation, biotechnology, automation, new materials, green economy and clean energy, he said.

He added the Ho Chi Minh City always welcomes and stays ready with all possible support for foreign enterprises and partners, including those from China, to explore business opportunities there. The city is also committed to fostering friendly and multifaceted cooperation with China, contributing positively to the mutual prosperity of both countries.

Chinese Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City Wei Huaxiang said that in the first seven months of this year, two-way trade surged by 20.9% to 145 billion USD, with China leading in the number of new projects in Vietnam. Additionally, the number of Chinese tourists to Vietnam in the first eight months neared 2.4 million, marking a 158% annual increase.

On the occasion, representatives from the city branch of the China Business Association in Vietnam and business associations from Chinese localities presented a donation of 3.8 billion VND (158,000 USD) to the municipal Vietnam Fatherland Front chapter. The sum is intended to support flood victims in northern Vietnam./.
