Hanoi welcomes Finland’s hand to become a smart city
Hanoi is willing to facilitate Finnish companies to cooperate and invest in the fields of smart city development and wastewater treatment in Vietnam.
This was announced by Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee, Nguyen Duc Chung, at the reception of the Finnish Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Elina Kalkku on March 14.
Speaking with the Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee, the Finnish Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed his amazement at the great changes in Hanoi. Elina affirmed that Finland is always ready to support and cooperate with Hanoi in investing in smart city development, wastewater treatment, and urban development.
Deputy Minister Elina Kalkku said that Finland also paid special attention to the development of the tourism sector. Currently, Vietnam has only one direct flight to Finland from Ho Chi Minh City. She said that the capital Hanoi is a modern and ancient city that could attract many Finnish visitors.
Chung thanked the Finnish Government for its support of Hanoi in particular and for Vietnam in general, through ODA. On this occasion, Chung has informed the Elina that a number of projects in Hanoi will be implemented in the future. Accordingly, from now until 2020, Hanoi will develop a water supply system. In particular, the city government will carry out specific planning and at the same time call on domestic and foreign private companies to invest in the construction of the clean water system utilising European filter technology.
The city administration is working to build solid waste treatment plants with European technology in urban areas and industrial parks. Currently, the entire solid waste treatment system in Hanoi runs on Austrian technology with the aim of reusing waste, according to Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung.
It is expected that from now to 2020 Hanoi’s industrial parks and urban areas will build waste treatment plants with modern technology, he added.
Regarding electronic governance, Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung said that Hanoi is implementing many initiatives, with special attention to public services. Accordingly, Hanoi will build a system to manage all residential data as well as build facilities for handling and managing land. At the same time, the Hanoi government is calling for businesses to invest in the construction of a new data center for the use of public services such as healthcare and education.
Besides, Hanoi also attaches great importance to traffic management solutions, as well as crime prevention and integrating fire prevention and emergency response. Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung said that Hanoi attaches great importance to building a database analysis center connecting the city departments and districts.
Accordingly, the city leaders expressed agreement with the Finnish Government's proposals for cooperation in the construction of information systems, wastewater treatment, and urban development.
