With the use of new infrastructure technology, new materials and energy in line with the development of digital economy and society, Xiong'an New Area is expected to become a model smart city, Ni Yuefeng said.
Prime Minister Chinh highly valued the strategic vision of China and General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping in particular in building the area, saying that Xiong'an solves three basic challenges that large cities often encounter, including infrastructure overloading; environmental pollution, lack of housing and standard living conditions for residents.
