The organization of the conference right after Hanoi’s early containment of the Covid-19 pandemic would send a strong message on the capital city’s efforts in particular, and of Vietnam in general, to lure investment from domestic and abroad businesses.
More than ever, Hanoi remains a safe and stable investment destination for investors, stressed the municipal Party Committee.
The investment promotion conference, themed “Hanoi 2020 – Investment and Development Cooperation”, shows the city’s determination to be the pioneer among Vietnam’s cities/provinces in recovering and developing the economy in the post-pandemic period.
According to the committee, the process would boost Hanoi’s administrative reform and enhance the city’s business and investment environment towards the ultimate goal of achieving high economic growth.
In 2020, Hanoi targets an economic expansion rate at 1.3 times higher than the national average.
The Hanoi Party Committee requested the municipal People’s Committee to strictly comply with current regulations on approving new FDI projects, focusing on those with modern technologies and environmentally-friendliness, and in line with the city’s vision for sustainable development, national and social security.
