11 May 2010 → Vietnam ready to build hotels and restaurants in Minsk

Vietnamese businessmen are considering an opportunity to construct a network of hotels and restaurants in Minsk, Mayor, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Hanoi Nguyen The Thao stated at a meeting in the Minsk City Hall on 11 May.

Vietnam is also interested in building a trade and cultural center in the Belarusian capital. Minsk will be offered a similar construction site in Hanoi. Besides, the sides discussed transport cooperation, export/import of goods and, in particular, the delivery of seafood to Minsk and milk powder to Hanoi. An organization of joint ventures in Vietnam can be another way to develop cooperation between the two capitals.

“Minsk and Hanoi have been developing friendly relations. We are glad to have such cooperation and are ready to discuss any opportunity to develop cooperation,” said Nguyen The Thao and added that the two cities started their bilateral relations in September 2004. In November 2004 a government delegation led by Chairman of the Minsk City Hall Mikhail Pavlov paid a visit to Hanoi to sign an agreement on friendly relations and cooperation.

Acting Chairman of the Minsk City Hall Nikolai Ladutko, on his part, noted that despite a long distance, Minsk and Hanoi are close to each other. The two cities have been implementing joint projects, developing contacts between the businessmen. The representatives of the Minsk City Hall are ready to take part in the celebrations of the 1,000th anniversary of Hanoi on 1-10 October 2010 (today Nguyen The Thao has handed over the invitations to the Minsk authorities to attend the celebrations).
