Chairwoman of Ho Chi Minh City’s People Council Nguyen Thi Quyet Tam
received a delegation of the German Parliament’s Committee on Foreign
Affairs, led by Chairman Ruprecht Polenz, on April 9 during their
working visit to Vietnam.
Tam briefed the guests on
the city’s current administrative system as well as socio-economic
development activities, saying that HCM City is making every
effort to develop into a modern, civilised city, improving citizens’
living conditions.
HCM City hopes to receive more
support for municipal transport infrastructure from Germany in the
coming time, she said.
Polenz expressed his impression of
the city’s positive development, saying that it should focus on
completing infrastructure, particularly in transport.
The
delegates shared their experience in building underground railway
systems, and noted that HCM City should pay attention to issues relating
to water resources and other problems caused by large scale and
prolonged construction sites.
They expressed their hope
that the municipal authority will provide preferential treatment for the
German House project to complete necessary procedures and start
construction, because it is a big project that will help German
companies operate in the city.-VNA
