Chairman Tho remarked that Da Nang is appealing for domestic and foreign investment into local infrastructure projects, including the construction of the Lien Chieu Port, a project to relocate Da Nang railway station, and some environmental projects.

The city leader hoped that the visit would help the Mitsubishi Corporation Viet Nam decide to invest into his city very soon, and he pledged that the local authorities would create very favourable conditions for the Japanese group to operate effectively in the city.

Mr Tetsu Funayama thanked Mr Tho for his warm welcome, and said that his group is keen to learn about Da Nang’s development orientations before seeking investment opportunities in the city.

He remarked, “In the immediate future, my group will focus on implementing projects on infrastructure, services for middle-class people, healthcare, and technology applications for industrial sectors”.
