However, the cooperation between Gia Lai and Ho Chi Minh City has not yet been effectively exploited, said Secretary of Party Committee of Ho Chi Minh City Dinh La Thang at the ceremony to review the socio-economic cooperation program between the two sides on April 18.
His counterpart, Duong Van Trang of Gia Lai called for Ho Chi Minh City to invest in the provincial tourism and agricultural processing industries.
In the cooperation plan for the 2017-2019 period, Gia Lai Province will learn experiences from HCM City on infrastructure structure; exploitation of public private partnership (PPP) projects; set-up and management of the urban planning and development for Pleiku City, An Khe and Ayun Pa towns, and industrial zones in the province.
Ho Chi Minh City will also continue to support its businesses to invest and develop tourism projects, supermarket and trade centers, in Gia Lai Province as well as inviting provincial authorities and enterprises to join the city's investment promotion conferences.
