Before the conference, Secretary of Can Tho City Party Committee Nguyen Van Hieu said that Can Tho City has just worked with Ho Chi Minh City on unifying the connection between the city Department of Industry and Trade and the Department of Industry and Trade of Can Tho City with the aim to connect and deepen the connection chain for the consumer market and imports.

The transport infrastructure of Can Tho City in the coming time will synchronously connect with Ho Chi Minh City’s regions, the Southeast and the country, opening up space for the development of industrial corridors, connecting many seaport clusters, and reducing travel time, and logistics costs.

It is hoped to be an impetus for the linkage between the business community in Can Tho City and big markets in the upcoming time.
