HCMC vice chairwoman Nguyen Thi Hong will visit the UK next week in anticipation of gleaning some insight there for the development of a financial and service center in Thu Thiem New Urban Area.

At a meeting with Hong at City Hall on Thursday, Crispin Simon, managing director responsible for trade development at UK Trade & Investment, said the UK would continue to assist HCMC in developing Thu Thiem Peninsula in District 2 into a world-class financial and service center. He hoped the municipal authorities would learn a lot about the financial district model in the City of London.

Crispin placed an emphasis on the quality of human resources in addition to management of the future financial district in Thu Thiem, and design and development of the area.
