HCM City seeks cooperation with US in education, climate change response
VOV.VN - Nguyen Van Nen, secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, hosted a reception on April 11 for US Ambassador to Vietnam Marc E. Knapper, stressing the need for the US and Vietnam to strengthen cooperation in education and climate change response.
Nen confirmed that with an abundant and highly-skilled labour force, Ho Chi Minh City will continue to be a potential market for US businesses.
Ho Chi Minh City is always ready to work alongside the US Embassy in Vietnam to welcome high-ranking delegations and businesses from the US in order to learn about investment cooperation opportunities in the city, Nen noted.
He also spoke about the impact of climate change on the city, as well as the country’s southern region, going on to express his wish that both sides would seek to strengthen cooperation in climate change response.
He invited Ambassador Knapper and US businesses to participate in the fourth economic forum themed “Green Growth: A Journey towards Zero Emissions” to be held in the city this September.
Ambassador Knapper said that both sides must seek to foster investment ties in green energy transformation, climate change response, and the digital economy.
He expressed his hope that Ho Chi Minh City would continue to support and remove difficulties faced by US businesses who want to pour investment into the locality.
