Hanoi, Ile-de-France accelerate effective cooperation in various fields

Culture and tourism are two main fields of cooperation as the two sides have been working on the promotion and management of monuments and preservation of relics.

During three decades of cooperation, Hanoi and Ile-de-France, the French capital region, have cooperated effectively to carry out many projects in various fields including cultural industry development, heritage conservation, and environmental issues.

She also expressed her desire to witness the partnership between two sides to be expanded further to cover other urban and creative issues.

Pécresse thanked Hanoi authorities for creating favorable conditions for French and Ile-de-France enterprises to join in the Hanoi Urban Rail System Project Line 3 that connect Nhon and the Hanoi railway station.

She affirmed that French businesses are always willing to contribute their experiences to Hanoi’s projects that are designed to accelerate the city's development in the coming time.
