Hosting a reception for Yoon Wha-sub, Governor of Ansan city, on April 23, Hai said that the Vietnamese southern hub has set up friendship relations with seven Korean localities so far, laying the foundations for the city and Ansan to bolster collaboration.
As HCM City is developing its four key industries of mechanics, electronics, chemicals-plastic-rubber, and food processing, it has carried out a number of programs and favorable policies to call for investments in its industrial parks, he said.
