HANOI: Finance Deputy Minister Nguyen Duc Tam has met with Zhu Wei, Deputy Director of the Guangdong provincial Development and Reform Commission, and a delegation from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Office in a bid to deepen economic and trade ties.
During the meeting, Tam welcomed the goodwill and proposals from the Greater Bay Area delegation aimed at enhancing economic and trade collaboration, developing joint Vietnam-Guangdong industrial parks, and strengthening supply chain linkages between the two countries.
He underscored that Vietnam places great importance on advancing cooperation with the Greater Bay Area, particularly in the sectors based on Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies (techs) such as information and communication tech, digital tech, nanotech, biotech, new materials, pharmaceuticals, high-tech agriculture, environmental tech and clean energy.
Furthermore, Zhu noted that Guangdong, home to several cities with twin relationships with Vietnamese provinces, has long been a focal point for trade and investment promotion activities from Vietnam.
This, he emphasised, illustrates the significant potential for expanded collaboration between Guangdong and Vietnamese localities. — Viet Nam News/ANN
