Highlighting great potential for exchanges and cooperation between Shanghai and Vietnamese localities, he said Shanghai is an important export market of Vietnam, while Vietnam is a potential investment destination for Shanghai businesses. He called on Shanghai authorities to create favourable conditions for Vietnam's key goods to gain more access to the markets of Shanghai and East China region as well as support Vietnamese businesses in participating in trade fairs held in the city.

He hoped that the two sides will effectively promote cooperation mechanisms, especially the cooperation model between Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City and other Vietnamese localities.

They will further exchange experience in urban development and management, innovation, investment attraction, finance, and monetary.

On this occasion, the top legislator asked the Shanghai government to continue to create favourable conditions for the Vietnamese community to live, study and work in the city.

The city also wants to strengthen the exchange of delegations at all levels, effectively promote cooperation mechanisms, boost trade, investment, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges; and encourage businesses to invest in Vietnam, contributing to strengthening the China-Vietnam comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, he said, adding that  Shanghai is ready to share with Vietnam its experience in urban construction and management./.
