Noting that both parties share common interests in promoting youth engagement, green growth and the protection and promotion of natural and cultural heritage in Viet Nam, the MoU establishes a long-term framework for action, and calls on the parties to work together to broaden this partnership with other like-minded Vietnamese businesses.

As a first step, SOVICO Group will collaborate with UNESCO, UNIDO and UN-Habitat to support Ha Noi’s development as a UNESCO Creative City through the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage, revitalization of craft villages and support for creative hubs to nurture the young creative talent of Ha Noi.
