During the reception, Secretary Thang appreciated Japanese infrastructure projects operating in the private-public partnership model in Aichi prefecture, showing his impression of Aichi prefecture’s mobilization of resources from private businesses in developing public projects.

“As Ho Chi Minh city is in need of capital for infrastructure development, it needs to study and follow this model,” said Secretary Thang.

According to Secretary Thang, Vietnam wants to develop the supportive and automobile industries, and combine the two industries together, which can help Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh city, raise their position in the global value chain.

Meanwhile, Aichi prefecture is strong in manufacturing, equipment and machinery industry. Secretary Thang expressed his hope that Aichi prefecture would cooperate with Ho Chi Minh city, which offers an increasingly improved investment environment and a large number of young labourers, in order to develop the supportive industry in the future.

He said he hoped Aichi prefecture’s authority would continue to make favourable conditions for Vietnamese citizens to study and work in the prefecture, adding that Ho Chi Minh city pledged to provide the best conditions for Aichi prefecture’s businesses and people to live and do business in the city.

Welcoming the delegation from Ho Chi Minh city, Aichi prefecture Governor Hideaki Ohmura said there are some 18,000 Vietnamese people studying and living in the prefecture, a number ranking second only after Tokyo. So far, Aichi prefecture has reported some 200 businesses investing in Vietnam, including some 50 businesses investing in Ho Chi Minh city.

Governor Hideaki Ohmura added he hoped the cooperation between the two localities would further develop, and that Ho Chi Minh city would be a destination for Aichi prefecture’s businesses to develop in Asia.

On the basis of the memorandum of understanding on cooperation between the two localities which was signed in 2016, Governor Hideaki Ohmura went on to say he hoped Ho Chi Minh city would have a general vision on projects and develop roads and traffic constructions using Aichi prefecture’s experience. He confirmed that Aichi prefecture was willing to support Ho Chi Minh city on projects invested under the PPP model.

On the same day, Le Thanh Liem, Standing Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh city People’s Committee, and leaders from Ho Chi Minh city’s departments, visited and studied the investment, operation and management of some infrastructure projects operating under the PPP model in Aichi prefecture.

Aichi, a prefecture located in the central region of Japan, is strong in manufacturing production. It is also where the headquarters of some of Japan’s leading industrial groups, such as Toyota, Aisin Seiki and Denso, are located./.
