At the meeting, Binh briefed his host on Vietnam’s socio-economic development over the past years and hailed Shanghai’s achievements during its reform and development process.
Vietnam will create optimal conditions for Shanghai businesses to invest in large-scale projects applying high technology in line with the country’s sustainable development needs, he said.
For his part, Li introduced the city’s socio-economic situation and reform experiences and cooperative relations between Vietnam and Shanghai, as well as measures to bolster bilateral cooperation in the coming time.
During its stay in Shanghai, the CPV delegation paid fact-finding trips to Shanghai’s new economic development model in Pudong, along with the city’s free-trade zone and businesses.
Binh is leading a CPV delegation on a working visit to China from April 15-19 at the invitation of the CPC Central Committee.
