During his reception last Friday for the Indonesian Ambassador to Viet Nam, Mr Ibnu Hadi, Da Nang People’s Committee Vice Chairman Ho Ky Minh remarked that Da Nang’s recent focus has been on promoting the development of the city in such aspects as tourism, logistics, hi-tech and information technology.

Vice Chairman Minh affirmed that Da Nang will establish even more cooperative relations with Indonesian localities and their businesses in trade, education and healthcare service.  He vowed that the city authorities will create even more favourable conditions for Indonesian investors in the city.

In reply, the Indonesian diplomat highly praised Da Nang for its socio-economic development achievements, especially in tourism, urban infrastructure, administrative reform, and investment attraction.  He said that his government is willing to organise a trade and investment exhibition in Da Nang next year to encourage businesses both from his country and the city to seek investment opportunities with partners.

Mr Minh supported the idea, and asked the Department of Foreign Affairs to develop a detailed plan for the exhibition and submit it to the local authorities for approval.
