HCM City, Japan boost cooperation in administrative reform
Ho Chi Minh City wants to learn from Japan’s experience in administrative reform and developing an urban administration with effective interactions between residents and authorities, a local official has said.
HCM City aims to facilitate residents’ participation in supervising and building a strong and effective local administration while better serving its locals and enterprises, including Japanese investors, he added.
For his part, Takayuki said Japan will continue implementing effectively agreements signed with the Vietnamese Government Inspectorate and localities regarding inspection, handling administrative claims, and administrative consultation.
Japan wants to strengthen cooperation with HCM City in administrative reform, thus helping turn the biggest city of Vietnam into an Asian economic hub, he said.
