HCM City (VNA) – Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Phan Van Mai has proposed the German city of Frankfurt share its experience in urban development during his meeting with Mayor Peter Feldmann on November 6.

Mai said that HCM City and Frankfurt share many similarities as they are both big centres of their respective country, having goals of developing a modern and environmental-friendly city, building a society serving residents so people would make important contributions to the development of the city.
