Chung wanted Hungary to share experience in management, economic development and human resource training with Hanoi.
For his part, the Hungarian guest stated that his country will ensure a soft credit worth 500 million EUR (541.4 million USD) for projects in Vietnam, including Hanoi’s Red River-based water plant.
The two sides agreed to enhance exchange and cooperation in water management, food and healthcare.
On the same day, the Hanoi leader greeted Singaporean Ambassador to Vietnam Teck Hean.
They hailed the collaboration between Hanoi and Singapore, committing to bolstering two cities’ ties across human resource training, real estate, infrastructure and industrial zone development.
The Hanoi leader affirmed that favourable conditions will be created for Singaporean businesses to land investment in the capital city after the Ambassador informed him of his country’s plan to develop a hi-industrial zone in Hanoi’s Gia Lam district.
