Accordingly, the two sides agreed to cooperate in investment, trade, aviation, tourism, training and urban planning, in order to promote the development of the city.
“We are willing to join projects in which Hanoi is calling on investment. We are committed to increasing transport of domestic and international passengers to the capital; boosting tourism, investment and assistance to social welfare programs and promoting the image of the city at the airlines’ international destinations,” said Vietjet General Director Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao.
