HCM City is willing to foster join work with Chungcheongbuk-do in fields of mutual interest and potential such as high technology, semiconductor production, and green agriculture.
In the coming time, he suggested the two localities strengthen exchanges, build coordination mechanisms, promote potential areas, and sign a friendly cooperation agreement.
Kim, for his part, expressed his wish for a stronger multisectoral collaboration between his province and the Vietnamese metropolis, hoping that their small but effective initial cooperative projects will lead to larger ones in the future.
With strength in semiconductor production and biotechnology research, Chungcheongbuk-do enterprises wish to have specific bilateral cooperation contributing to the common development of HCM City, noted the RoK official.
He affirmed that the RoK province is ready to cooperate with HCM City to study and implement joint activities in fields of mutual interest and soon sign the friendship cooperation pact with the Vietnamese locality./.
