Over recent years, the Party and government of the city have always paid much attention to creating the most favourable conditions for businesses operating in the city to develop in terms of both quantity and quality.

Local businesses, step by step, have raised their prestige and brandnames, thereby affirming their great role in accelerating the city’s socio-economic development and its global integration capacity.

The city leader also took the opportunity to urge the business community to overcome their difficulties and challenges, ensure their sustainable development, and make greater efforts for the city’s progress in the coming time.

Congratulating the Duy Tan University’s leaders on their special days, Vice Chairman Minh hoped that this educational establishment would develop into one of the leading private universities in Viet Nam, and secure its berth in the top 400 largest in Asia by 2020.

Following an instruction from Vice Chairman Minh, the municipal Department of Planning and Investment will add the new Duy Tan University project, which is expected to cover an area of 28.6 ha in Hoa Vang District’s Hoa Nhon Commune, into the existing list of key local projects so as to start the construction as soon as possible.
