HCM City leaders welcome Myanmar Vice President
Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Le Thanh Hai on March 22 received Myanmar Vice President Nyan Tun.
Hai thanked the Myanmar Government and relevant agencies for assisting HCM City businesses and investors to learn about investment opportunities in Myanmar.
HCM City is making it easier for Myanmar firms to seek cooperation opportunities in the city. In March 2012, HCM City and Myanmar’s Yangon City signed a twinning agreement, Hai noted.
Nyan Tun said the signing of the twinning agreement will offer the two cities a chance to bolster new cooperation. He expressed his belief that bilateral cooperation will keep thriving comprehensively through the exchange of visits by the two countries’ leaders.
He said Myanmar wishes to strengthen economic development. Last year, the country issued a new law to lure foreign investment, thus offering chances for foreign investors, including those from Vietnam.
At an earlier meeting with HCM City Mayor Le Hoang Quan, Nyan Tun said Myanmar wishes to learn the city’s experience in improving locals’ lives, especially those living in rural areas.
Quan said the city is willing to share experience with Myanmar in poverty reduction.
During his stay in the city, Nyan Tun visited Cu Chi relic site, HCM City hi-tech park and Amata industrial complex in southern Dong Nai province.
