On October 11 (New Zealand time), at a meeting with a member of the Wellington City Council Sarah Free in Wellington, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Council Nguyen Van Dung stressed that the Vietnamese southern hub is carrying out the National Assembly’s Resolution No.98 on piloting special mechanisms and policies for HCM City’s development, with highlights being an urban area, investment attraction, startup, and innovation.
He expressed his hope that the city and Wellington will continue working together and cooperate in the fields.
Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Council Nguyen Van Dung pointed out several challenges that HCM City has faced when carrying out the smart urban area building project, including limitations in IT infrastructure, and poor engagement of locals and enterprises in the project.
Sarah Free, for her part, said that climate change response and expenditure for implementation are among the challenges of Welling during the process of smart urban area development.
She hoped that both sides would continue to exchange information in the field so as to better serve residents and businesses while affirming that Wellington stands ready to share experience with HCM City in smart urban area development.
The same day, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Council Nguyen Van Dung visited the Vietnamese Embassy, during which he said he wished the Embassy would work to help HCM City promote collaboration with New Zealand localities.
