Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong made the statement while hosting Lord David Puttnam, special envoy of the UK Prime Minister in charge of trade with Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar, in the city on March 3. 
Phong said the visit would further tighten the Vietnam – UK relationship, following the UK Prime Minister’s Vietnam visit last July. 
He also thanked the UK for its support for Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City in particular, especially in the fields of education-training, public-private partnership and Thu Thiem new urban area planning. 
The city identifies transport infrastructure and business climate improvement as key tasks, he stated. 
Puttnam suggested the city adopt technological advances, a strength of the UK, to complete infrastructure projects. 
With a young entrepreneur base, expertise and modern technology, Ho Chi Minh City’s infrastructure projects will be completed soon, he said.
