Secretary of the Party Committee of Thua Thien-Hue Le Truong Luu welcomed the
Singaporean Deputy PM, briefing him on the local socio-economic situation, as
well as cooperation between the locality and Singapore.
Currently, Thua Thien-Hue is hosting four Singaporean-funded projects, including
a 2 billion USD Laguna Hue resort invested by Banyan Tree in Chan May-Lang Co
economic zone, he noted.
Luu said that Thua Thien-Hue and Singapore’s Akitek Tenggara have once
cooperated in tourism planning development. A large number of Thua Thien-Hue
students are studying in Singapore, he added.
The provincial leader expressed his hope that in the future, Singapore will
continue supporting the province by encouraging its businesses to seek
investment opportunities in the locality, while strengthening education and
personnel training collaboration with the province.
Thua Thien-Hue wishes to work with Singapore in tourism promotion and developing
tourism products, he stated.
For his part, the Singaporean Deputy PM said that this is the first time he has
visited Hue, expressing his impression at Hue city which is home to many
beautiful landscapes as well as historical and cultural relics.
He noted that Hue is becoming increasingly attractive to tourists from Singapore
and other countries. He said he hopes that through the visit, the cooperation
between Singapore and Thua Thien-Hue will be enhanced.
During their stay in Hue, Teo and the Singaporean delegation visited the UNESCO-recognised
World Cultural Relic Site of Hue ancient citadel relic complex, and a number of
historical and cultural relic sites in the province.
