During the meeting, Chairman Nguyen Duc Dung congratulated Mr. Igor Baiazov on his new role.

The city is currently prioritizing the development of key sectors, including seaports, airports, logistics, free trade zones, an international financial center, an innovation and startup center, and a smart city. These are also areas in which Da Nang hopes to expand cooperation and attract partners and investors from the Russian Federation.

In addition to investment cooperation, the city leader called for stronger collaboration in high-quality human resource training, healthcare, education, and science and technology.

Mr. Dung added Da Nang wanted to expand tourism exchanges and create the most favorable conditions possible for travel agencies and tourists from Russian localities to visit the city, and vice versa.

He voiced his hope that the new Consul General and his colleagues would continue to serve as effective bridges between the two sides, helping broaden cooperation opportunities for mutual development.
