Hanoi is to pay greater attention to external relations activities in 2015 with an aim of enhancing ties with partners and accelerating international integration, said a senior municipal official.
The city should also promote its image as a major cultural hub of the country through external relations, stated Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc, Vice Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Committee at a conference of the Department of External Relations on January 14.
She noted that foreign investment has contributed greatly to Hanoi’s rapid development, therefore the department needs to devise a long-term strategy to help attract more investors to the city.
According to the department, last year, foreign relations activities played a significant role in fostering cooperation between the city and partners in various fields. The city welcomed 21 delegations from the capitals and cities of other countries and sent 14 delegations abroad, all for the purpose of expanding the partnership between Hanoi and other cities.
