It marks a significant step forward in attracting investment, promoting trade, developing science and technology, and promoting Hanoi's image to international friends. 

Overview of the meeting. 

This initiative is grounded in the implementation of Resolution No. 15-NQ/TW of the Politburo on the development orientations and tasks for Hanoi through 2030 with a vision to 2045, Resolution No. 57-BQ/TW dated December 22, 2024, of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, as well as the ten major programs of the 17th Hanoi Party Committee.

Hoa Lac High-Tech Park and other industrial zones in the city are currently home to over 840 investment projects, including more than 340 foreign-invested enterprises. Through the implementation of this coordination mechanism, the Management Board hopes to create an attractive living and working ecosystem for the foreign community, particularly experts and scientists working in the city's high-tech and industrial zones. 

This signing is seen as a practical initiative that concretizes the role of people-to-people diplomacy, a strategic bridge in advancing international cooperation, the development of science, technology, and innovation, contributing to the realization of the goal of making Hanoi a leading regional and global center for science, technology, and innovation.
