Argentinean President welcomed in HCM City
(VOV) - Ho Chi Minh City is ready to engender favourable conditions for Argentinean businesses to cooperate on and run direct investments in the city.
HCM City People’s Committee Chairman Le Hoang Quan issued the statement at a January 19 reception for visiting Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
Quan thanked Argentina for its valuable support and assistance to Vietnam during its struggles for national liberation and national construction. He voiced his confidence that relations between the two nations will flourish and grow after the Argentinean President’s visit.
President Cristina said she hopes her visit will contribute to strengthening cooperative relations, particularly in areas of mutual concern. Argentina is currently developing biotechnology, peaceful atomic technology, healthcare, and agriculture, and desires cooperation with Vietnam in these fields. Argentina is committed to becoming Ho Chi Minh City’s comprehensive partner, she added.
The HCM City leader and the Argentinean President also discussed Argentina’s cooperative opportunities with Vietnam in general and HCM City more specifically—opportunities encompassing energy, biotechnology research, investment, and tourism. They agreed on designating an Argentinean locality HCM City’s twin and promoting business delegation exchanges to encourage investment and collaboration.
President Cristina and her delegation visited the historical site of the Cu Chi Tunnels on the same day.
