A conference between Ho Chi Minh City authorities and the FDI business community operating in the city will be held on October 30, with the theme "Ho Chi Minh City Megacity: New Opportunities for Sustainable Development."
The annual conference aims to enhance investment effectiveness, strengthen trust, and foster dialogue between the municipal government and the FDI business community in the new development phase.
It will update the city's socio-economic development orientation, urban planning, and investment attraction for the 2025-2030 period. It will also listen to FDI businesses to improve policies, enhance investment environment, and affirm Ho Chi Minh City's role as an economic leader in the country's southern region.
The conference consists of two main parts, including an official meeting focusing on introducing the socio-economic development orientation, urban planning, finance, and the urban railway system; the discussions and exchanges between the city's leadership and representatives of foreign business associations from the US, Japan, the UK, Australia, EU, and more.
Additionally, a side exhibition space will display the city's general planning, transportation, industrial zones, and development orientation of the international financial center.
