Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Nguyen Van Duoc has proposed that Japan strengthen cooperation with the city in infrastructure, public transport, modern logistics, and smart city development.
The proposal was made during a meeting with Japanese Deputy Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Sasaki Hajime in Ho Chi Minh City on December 30.
Mr. Duoc said the city hopes to learn from Japan’s experience in developing metro systems, building public transport–oriented urban models, and improving the management and maintenance of urban infrastructure in line with international standards.
He also called on Japan to provide support in funding, technology transfer, and human resource training for urban transport and logistics projects, while creating favorable conditions for Japanese enterprises to participate more deeply in Ho Chi Minh City’s infrastructure and urban development projects in the near future.
For his part, Mr. Sasaki affirmed that Japan attaches great importance to its cooperative ties with Vietnam in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular. He said Japan is ready to enhance experience sharing, provide technical assistance, and promote substantive cooperation projects in transport, infrastructure, and urban development.
