He noted that Swedish businesses have been increasingly interested in the investment environment in Hanoi and will share their experience contributing to the city’s sustainable transport plan.
Chairman Chung thanked the diplomat for bridging businesses of the two countries, affirming his support and saying he will work with the Embassy of Sweden in Vietnam to realize plans, programmes and seminars on public transport as the city is heading to become a smart city with sustainable growth and being adaptive to climate change.
