During his reception for the Japanese guests, Mr Minh praised their company for its remarkable achievements and great contributions to the city’s progress over the past 5 years.

Vice Chairman Minh also introduced his guests to some new investment projects in the city’s Hi-Tech Park. Included were the Universal Alloy Corporation Asia Pte. LTD-UAC’s aerospace components manufacturing project, and the Long Hau JSC’s first hi-tech factory cluster for lease.

He also remarked that the construction of technical infrastructure connecting the Park with the dedicated Information Technology Park in Hoa Vang District’s Hoa Lien Commune would be completed soon.

In addition, a road connecting Nguyen Tat Thanh Street with the hi-tech Park and the dedicated Information Technology Park is expected to open to traffic late this month. Meanwhile, a bus route R14 will also be launched this year in order to transport employees between their living places in the city centre and their working places in these parks.

In reply, President of the Tokyo Keiki Precision Technology company Tsuyoshi Ando highly applauded Da Nang, and Viet Nam as a whole, for their rapid growth.

He stressed the need for the city to enhance the Hi-tech Park’s infrastructure, as well as to develop more traffic, and housing projects for workers at the park.

“In April, a Japanese company in the Tokyo Keiki’s supply network will visit Da Nang to learn about its investment opportunities, and it is willing to lend a helping hand to the city to appeal for even more Japanese investors to pour their money in the city ”, the guest added. 

During his meeting on the same day with representatives from the Malik Institute in Viet Nam, Vice Chairman Minh briefed his guests on the city’s recent agreement with Singaporean partners to make adjustments to the master urban plan for its progress by 2030, with a vision towards 2050.

He took the opportunity to ask the Swiss Institute to continue implementing high-quality human resource training programme in the city, offering training programmes, and providing training courses for local high-ranking officials.

Mr Minh said he would like the Swiss Institute to give suggestions and ideas to the city about its master urban plan for its progress by 2030, with a vision towards 2050, thereby serving as a basis for the Institute to develop a development strategy for the city by 2020.

To date, the Malik Institute has organised 4 high-quality human resource training courses for the city.

During this year, 2 more training courses will be organised in the city in order to meet the local development requirements.
