DNO - International cooperation always goes hand in hand with Da Nang’s development journey and is positioned at the central driving force for the city's breakthrough growth in the coming time.
The formation and development history of Da Nang has always been marked by international exchange and integration.
Its natural appeal combined with proactive integration and international cooperation is the lever for Da Nang to develop into a modern, dynamic urban area with rising global brand from a bustling seaport in central Viet Nam in the 19th century.
According to the municipal Department of Foreign Affairs, the city's foreign affairs and international cooperation have achieved numerous outstanding achievements during the 2020 - 2025 period.
In particular, Da Nang welcomed more than 3,000 international delegations, including many delegations of heads of state, royalty, and ministers from many countries to visit, work, and promote cooperation and investment projects.
Da Nang has established friendship and cooperative relations with 60 localities across 24 countries and territories worldwide.
It has signed 120 bilateral international agreements with foreign localities and organizations, as well as many deals on investment promotion and connection with business associations, corporations and foreign companies.
This is an important catalyst for the city to attract about 1,263 FDI projects with a total registered investment capital of more than US$ 10.9 billion.
In addition, Da Nang has played an active role in international and regional organizations, especially APEC, ASEAN and free trade agreements.
The city has actively participated in major forums such as APCS, PNLG, CITYNET and other international conferences.
Moreover, it has hosted a number of large-scale events that have attracted the attention of the international community such as Meet Da Nang 2024 - 2025, Meet ASEAN, Meet U.S., Meet South Korea, and Meet Japan.
International integration is an important strategy to consolidate political position, promote economic development, ensure national security, and enhance the influence of Viet Nam on the world map.
Da Nang has been working to become a regional leader in international economic integration, science and technology development, innovation and sustainable growth development through effective interregional linkages.
