Mongolia seeks co-operation with HCM City

The Mongolian capital city of Ulan Bator wishes to establish co-operation with Ho Chi Minh City to exchange experiences in construction and development as well as in the operation of the HCM City People’s Council.

The Chairman of Ulan Bator’s People’s Council Bilegt Tudev made the statement at a meeting with Chairwoman of HCM City People’s Council Pham Phuong Thao, in HCM City on October 11.

During the meeting, the two leaders agreed on the need to boost co-operation between localities of Vietnam and Mongolia, including the multifaceted co-operation between HCM City and Ulan Bator.

Thao said the Vietnam visit by the Ulan Bator delegation on the occasion of the 1,000 anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi was an opportunity to strengthen traditional friendship between two peoples, states and localities of the two nations.

She stressed the desire for HCM City and Ulan Bator, as big cities with strong economies, to bolster cooperative relations, matching the traditional friendship and co-operation of the two countries.

For his part, Bilegt Tudev said although Mongolia-Vietnam relations have developed for a long time, the co-operation between the two localities is still far from reaching their potential.

He also spoke highly of beefing up cooperation with Vietnamese cities, especially HCM City, named after the late President Ho Chi Minh, whose name was so familiar to Ulan Bator’s citizens.
