Hanoi is accelerating urban development, so cooperation in developing urban governance and construction still has a lot of room, he said, adding that the city wants to exchange and learn from Guangdong's experiences in this field, and always welcomes and creates favourable conditions for the Chinese province’s businesses and corporations with strengths in capital and technology to invest in Hanoi.
Phong took this occasion to invite Guangdong leaders to visit Hanoi on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the city Liberation Day (October 10).
