Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Vo Van Hoan emphasised that the E.U. is one of the most important partners of the city. Ho Chi Minh City treasures and highly evaluated the E.U. member states’ support to the city's construction and development process, particularly in green transition.
He expressed his wish that the E.U. will continue to support development projects in Vietnam, particularly Ho Chi Minh City.
It hopes to strengthen cooperation with European partners in areas in which they have strengths and the city has demand for such as green transition, digital transformation, climate change adaptation, innovation, and startup.
Hoan pledged that the city will do its best to ensure a stable socio-political environment, ensure legitimate rights and interests of investors, and create favorable conditions for foreign businesses, including European enterprises, to operate stably, effectively and for the long-term in the city.
For his part, Ambassador Julien Guerrier, Head of the E.U. Delegation to Vietnam, affirmed that the E.U. always attaches importance to its relations with Vietnam, especially in cooperation and assistance to transport infrastructure development, healthcare, education, and climate change response.
The E.U. member states appreciated Ho Chi Minh City’s economic potential and want to strengthen cooperation with the city across the fields of economy, commerce, and investment, he said.
