HCM CITY — Phan Văn Mãi, Vice Secretary of the Party Committee of HCM City and Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee, received Manuel Domingos Augusto, Politburo member and Secretary of the Central Committee of the ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), on August 22.

The host affirmed that HCM City treasures the Việt Nam - Angola friendship and wishes to become an important contributor to the two countries’ sound relations.

Informing his guest about the local socio-economic development, Mãi remarked that the trade and investment ties between HCM City and Angola remain modest, and they need to take measures to boost these partnerships.

Augusto voiced his hope that via the visit to HCM City, the Angolan delegation can learn development experience of the city, an economic locomotive and a large centre of external relations of Việt Nam.

Applauding his host’s cooperation proposals, he said there remains substantial potential for Angola and Việt Nam, including HCM City, to collaborate in economic development.

The MPLA official also affirmed the readiness to encourage agencies, organisations, enterprises, and people of Angola to enhance investment and trade links with Vietnam to bring economic connections on part with the countries’ diplomatic and political ties.

Angola is willing to select a locality to twin and carry out cooperation with HCM City, he added. — VNS
