The host also asked for help from the government of Daegu City, and that of South Korea as a whole, to appeal for even more their businesses to invest into Da Nang’s hi-tech and dedicated IT parks in the years ahead.

Chairman Tho also highlighted the importance of organising more fine arts, cultural and delegation exchanges between the 2 cities in the future years.  In addition, the city leader said he would like the Daegu City authorities to assist Da Nang to promote its image amongst citizens of this South Korean locality.
