New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon met with Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc.
At the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee welcomed and congratulated Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on his first friendly visit to Vietnam since taking office.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Ho Chi Minh City is the most dynamic city in the country, with great potential for investment and development in many fields. Recently, the Vietnamese Government issued a Resolution to establish a Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City. The city is currently preparing infrastructure and calling for investment from external resources. In addition, the city is also focusing on developing the high-tech sector, promoting digital transformation of governance and administration with the whole country, so the development space for these fields is very large.
In addition, education is also one of the city's five development strategies with the desire to train high-quality human resources. Currently, Ho Chi Minh City is planning to establish a high-quality education area from primary to university and postgraduate levels. Therefore, the city also needs investment resources in this field. At the same time, the fields of high-tech agriculture, culture, tourism development, etc. are also very potential with many opportunities for development cooperation.
The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee hopes that the friendly visit of Prime Minister Christopher Luxon will open up opportunities to promote investment cooperation of New Zealand businesses in Ho Chi Minh City in the coming time.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon congratulated Ho Chi Minh City on its impressive economic growth in recent times. However, he said that there is still much work to be done for Vietnam to become a high-income country by 2045 as set out. He also hoped that his friendly visit would promote comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, creating conditions for the two sides to cooperate in many fields such as economy, education, tourism, agriculture, etc.
According to Prime Minister Luxon, yesterday when he arrived in Hanoi, he visited the Temple of Literature - the first university in Vietnam, he realized that Vietnam highly values education, considering education as the core of culture. Meanwhile, New Zealand currently has strengths with many universities in the top of the world and in the future New Zealand will invest more heavily in the fields of science and education.
New Zealand is ready to discuss and connect on cooperation opportunities in the field of education and training such as sending Vietnamese students to study in New Zealand, or possibly opening joint training programs on-site, opening New Zealand schools right in Vietnam. “Cooperation in the field of education is a good starting point, then we will continue to promote cooperation in the fields of economics, science, technology, high-tech agriculture…” - Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said.
Previously, on the evening of February 27, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon had a sightseeing tour on the Saigon River, admiring the city's scenery and enjoying the art of hát bội - a unique form of theater that has existed for hundreds of years in Vietnam.
