The dialogue will offer a venue for participants to share experience in speeding up post-pandemic recovery, development priorities of each country in the period of economic recovery, and potential and development goals of localities through exchange activities.

It is also expected to promote the image of HCM City as an attractive tourism attraction and investment destination for foreign friends.

Participants from localities of Germany, the Republic of Korea, Australia, Japan and Russia, the European Union and ASEAN will share success stories and discuss measures to connect resources for implementing cooperative programmes and initiatives.

The event will include a plenary and a meeting of governors, which will focus on challenges and initiatives to improve the effectiveness of urban governance, and economic development and recovery. 

Talks and bilateral meetings, a festival, and a friendship exhibition will be also arranged in the framework of the event.
