(VOV) - A delegation led by Chairman of the Danang Municipal People’s Committee, Van Huu Chien, has paid a working visit to US cities to promote investment and cooperative opportunities. At a conference in Houston, Texas, Chien introduced Vietnam's preferential policies to attract more investors operating in high-tech industries. Danang hopes to see more US companies invest in the city, especially in its information and technology park, he said.

Chairman Chien later met with Houston Mayor Annis Parker and signed a letter of intent to make Danang and Houston sister cities. Houston is the US fourth biggest city with a population of more than 2.1 million and a total GDP of nearly US$400 billion per year. Besides Houston and Texas, the delegation also worked with businesses and agencies in California, San Francisco, Washington and New York.
