The process has enabled the central economic hub to garner valuable information, knowledge, and experiences in sharing and learning about smart urban development.
Cuong expressed his hope that CityNet will further support Da Nang by facilitating connections with its network and members.
He also sought assistance for attracting investors to participate in Da Nang's smart city building project in such fields as electrical infrastructure, water management, transport, health care facilities, and education.
In response, Kim said that Da Nang has been an active and long-standing member of CityNet, contributing significantly to its development through various exchanges and cooperation activities.
CityNet plans to assist the city in further expanding its linkages with other members in Europe, he said, inviting Da Nang to join upcoming events organised by the network./.
