That included US$29.3 million worth of goods HCM City imported from the European nation such as pharmaceutical products, electronic components and machinery. Meanwhile, the city earned US$119.8 million in shipments with textile-garment, footwear and wood products among key exports.
Austria has 11 investment projects with total capital of US$34.59 million in HCM City at present, they said.
At the meeting, a representative of Frequentis, an Austrian public safety solutions company, presented a solution that merges different phone numbers in the city’s emergency response centre. Phong welcomed this idea.
HCM City currently uses three separate phone numbers for emergencies (113, 114 and 115).
