Da Nang steps up co-operation with RoK's Daegu city

The Daegu Mayor outlined that the RoK is an economically-developed country, with these achievements being recorded through the care of educating and training people.

Mayor Hong expressed his impression that Da Nang has focused on investing in human education, adding that Daegu is boosting the development of high-tech industry and education - training.

Currently, the Da Nang–Daegu route has resumed with more and more people travelling, thereby opening up plenty of opportunities for further investment promotion and co-operation in areas where the two localities have advantages.

In response, Quang stated that Da Nang currently enjoys co-operative relations with many Korean localities, including Daegu across multiple fields, such as investment, trade, tourism, education, people-to-people diplomacy, and cultural exchanges. The RoK is also one of the key tourist markets of Da Nang, he went on to say.

By knowing how to promote human potential for the cause of economic development, the RoK has become a developed country, with this being a very valuable lesson, the municipal leader said. He added that Daegu and Da Nang have a starting point and development process with many similarities, with many models that Vietnam is currently applying also being from the RoK's experience, such as the new rural model.

Da Nang also focuses on developing high-tech industry, whilst local people love to travel to the RoK. Similarly, Koreans also love to travel to Da Nang.

Quang highly appreciated the opinion given by Mayor Hong on the linkages in education and training and cultural exchanges towards the goal of human development for greater economic development.

Quang said he hopes that Daegu would increase investment and ties with Da Nang in the fields of high technology, education, and training and tourism.

The two localities will also seek to intensify cultural exchange activities towards the 20th anniversary of their friendly and co-operative ties.
