The city leader also expressed his thankfulness to the government of Boras City in Sweden for cooperating with his city to implement an environmental project, funded by Sweden’s International Centre for Local Democracy (ICLD), over the 2013 - 2015 period.

The host said he would like the Swedish Ambassador to help his city bolster the bilateral cooperation with some Swedish localities.  He also asked his guest to provide his city with necessary information about investment fund and cooperative programmes between Sweden and Viet Nam in which Da Nang might be able to be involved.

In reply, Ambassador Pereric Hogberg pledged to exert even more efforts to further promote bilateral friendly relations with Da Nang, and to appeal for more businesses from his country to invest in the city.
