Briefing the guest on HCM City’s development vision, the official said the city needs both domestic and foreign resources, adding the southern metropolis wants to learn from the UK’s experience in international financial centre building.
He thanked British partners for their collaboration in studying a roadmap to build an innovation centre in health care, and called on the UK to continue its support in high-quality personnel training and share technologies in disease treatment and management models in the medical sector, grant more scholarships to Vietnamese students in high-tech and finance, and help the city with English language teaching.
Trevelyan spoke highly of HCM City’s vision in health care, finance and renewable energy, and expressed her interest in its international financial centre project, stressing that the UK is willing to share its experience in this field.
Besides, the UK is very interested in and ready to promote cooperation in renewable energy, and support HCM City in urban flood prevention, she said./.
