Central hub boosts ties with Japanese sister city
Danang (VNA)- A 33-strong delegation from Japan 's Kawasaki city arrived in the central coastal city of Danang on October 15 to promote investment and socio-economic assistance under bilateral commitments.
The delegation was led by Chairman of the Kawasaki Chamber of Commerce and
Industry cum Senior Advisor of the Toshiba Group, Hiroshi Nishioka.
During a working session with municipal authorities upon their arrival,
the Japanese guests expressed their interest in a project on development of
the Hoa Khuong Hi-Tech Park.
They said they would apply experiences in management, investment promotion
and production from the Kawasaki-based KSP Hi-tech park to the Hoa Khuong
park in Danang.
Kawasaki authorities praised their Vietnamese counterparts for their
efforts in promoting investment in and tapping potential of the East-West
Economic Corridor.
Host and guest shared the view that relations between the two cities have
undergone great changes after one year of implementing the Minute of
Understanding on Economic Cooperation.
Over the past year, Kawasaki has sent three environment experts to
Danang to help deploy project " Environment-friendly City " and extended
expertise assistance in port management.
The Japanese city has also presented 3,600 bicycles to poor children in
Danang.
So far, 35 Japanese enterprises have poured investment worth 207 million
USD in total into the central port city, focusing on assembling electronic
parts, electric engines, sports equipment, imports-exports and soft-ware
production. They employed 12,000 local workers.
Danang has been recognised by the Japan External Trade Organisation
(JETRO) as one of 30 Asian cities of high competitive edge regarding
investment. The recognition has drawn an increasing attention from the
Japanese business circles, as evidenced by the number of Japanese businesses
who came to the Danang representative office in Kawasaki to study
investment opportunities, which totalled 60 including such giants as Konica
and Toyota.-Enditem
