Municipal and local agencies will co-work with Japanese investors to ensure the projects match their plans, Thanh told a meeting with the Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Yamada Takio.
"Hanoi authorities had resolved issues involving the development of the smart city on the northern side of Hanoi," said Thanh.
He also suggested the Japanese ambassador invite more Japanese businesses to land their projects in Hanoi, particularly in urban development, transportation, agriculture, and tourism.
On his part, Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Yamada Takio said that Vietnamese and Japanese companies would enjoy better conditions to execute their joint projects.
He stressed that the focus now is the construction of the urban railways, the development of the smart city in Hanoi’s northern side, and the construction of the Yen Xa wastewater treatment plant.
