On the afternoon of April 2, at the City Convention and Performance Center (Thuy Nguyen ward), comrade Le Tien Chau, Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the City Party Committee, Head of the City's National Assembly Delegation, chaired a courtesy meeting with Mr. Olivier Brochet, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to Vietnam who came to visit and work in Hai Phong. Also attending were Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Hoang Minh Cuong and leaders of relevant departments and branches.
Speaking at the meeting, City Party Secretary Le Tien Chau expressed his joy in welcoming Ambassador Olivier Brochet and the delegation to visit Hai Phong at a time when the Vietnam - France strategic partnership is developing well. He emphasized that Hai Phong always values its cooperative relationship with French partners and wishes to bring this relationship to a new level, more substantive and effective.
Informing about the local development situation, the City Party Secretary said that Hai Phong is currently an attractive destination for major investors in the world thanks to its synchronous transportation infrastructure and outstanding preferential policies. However, he also frankly acknowledged that the number of French businesses investing in the city is currently quite modest. The Secretary of the City Party Committee proposed that Ambassador Olivier Brochet during his term will be an important bridge to introduce French corporations and businesses to research and invest in Hai Phong, especially in areas where France has strengths and the city is prioritizing such as: seaport infrastructure, logistics, clean energy, high-tech industry, healthcare and education.
Thanking the city leaders for the respectful welcome, Ambassador Olivier Brochet expressed his impression of the dynamic development of Hai Phong - the largest seaport city in Northern Vietnam. The Ambassador affirmed that French businesses are very interested in the investment environment in Vietnam in general and Hai Phong in particular. In the coming time, the French Embassy will coordinate closely with the city to organize investment promotion activities, cultural exchanges and promote cooperative projects on sustainable urban development and adaptation to climate change.
City Party Secretary Le Tien Chau affirmed that the city government is committed to creating favorable conditions and providing maximum support for administrative procedures and infrastructure so that French investors can feel secure in their long-term operations, contributing to tightening the friendship and economic cooperation between the two countries./.
