Ho Chi Minh City on January 31 organised a meeting with consuls general and heads of international organisations, and economic and cultural offices and business associations of foreign countries and territories in the southern metropolis.
Highly appreciating efforts of these units, Nguyen Thi Le, deputy secretary of the municipal Party Committee and Chairwoman of the municipal People's Council, said that in the process of development, in addition to its internal resources, the city needs their continued companionship in its work to build itself into a smart city and an economic, financial, commercial, sci-tech, and cultural centre of the region.
The southern metropolis hopes that the consular agencies, organisations, offices, and associations will continue helping promote its image to international friends and bring reliable, potential and goodwill partners to the city, she remarked.
The local authorities commit to continue closely coordinating with and supporting foreign representative agencies in organising economic, cultural, health, and educational exchange activities, contributing to fostering the sides’ mutual understanding and development.
