Under the government’s leadership, Ho Chi Minh City will do its utmost to bring the World Economic Forum (WEF) on East Asia 2010 to success.

Deputy Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Trung Tin made the commitment at a meeting with a delegation from the WEF on March 11.

Tin said the city is proud to host the international event and expressed the belief that this will be a good chance for the city to highlight its potential and promote its image to the world.

At the meeting, Sushant Rao, WEF Director to Asia, stressed the historic significance of the event, as this will be the first time the forum takes place in a developing country.

Leaders of countries, international organisations and over 1,000 WEF member businesses will attend the event scheduled to take place from June 6-7, said Rao./.
