During the meeting, Chairman Tho introduced to his city’s socio-economic development, and its existing incentive investment attraction policies. He also highly praised the Czech Republic government for their active assistance for Viet Nam over the past years.

The city chief hoped that the bilateral cooperative relations with Da Nang would be enhanced in the coming time. He also took the opportunity to ask relevant agencies to quickly handle relevant procedures, and accelerate the construction of an international paediatrics hospital in Da Nang soon.

In reply, Mr Ing Petr Mach, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Future Investment Group, briefed the Da Nang visitors on his group’s strengths, with a focus on healthcare aspect.

Vice Chairman Mach remarked that his country and Viet Nam shared many similarities in healthcare systems. He pledged to speed up the transfer of processes and equipment for the building of the hospital in Da Nang, as well as coordinate with relevant local agencies to provide training courses on enhancing the capacity of local doctors and nurses.

During his stay in the Czech Republic, Chairman Tho had a working session with Mr Zdeněk Zbytek, President of the Czech Eastern JSC. The intention was to discuss cooperative potential between Da Nang and Eastern Czech Republic businesses in the future.

Mr Zdeněk Zbytek noted that a group of businesspeople from the Eastern Czech Republic would visit Da Nang in December to learn about its investment opportunities.
