Vice Chairman Minh added that Da Nang city had attracted 461 projects with a capital of USD3.8 billion. However, cooperation with Belgium does not yet match its potential.
He suggested that Vice Governor Geert Versnick be a bridge introducing businesses from East Flanders in particular and those across Belgium in general to study cooperation and investment opportunities in Da Nang city, especially in areas that are Belgium’s strengths.
In addition, he also urged Mr. Geert Versnick to invite Belgian businesses to join activities of the APEC 2017 Week to be held in Da Nang city, expressing his hope to learn from Belgium’s experience in urban management and logistics services.
The Vice Chairman of the Da Nang city People’s Committee pledged to make favourable conditions for Belgian businesses to invest in Vietnam, and agreed to set up cooperation between Da Nang city and East Flanders province.
Mr. Geert Versnick said that he was impressed by the development of Da Nang city, adding that the two localities had a lot of potential for cooperation.
According to Mr. Geert Versnick, East Flanders province focuses its cooperation with other localities in the agricultural and educational sectors. He said that, as Da Nang city and East Flinders have only set up cooperation in education, the two localities should expand cooperation and relations in the years to come./.
