During the working session, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Trung expressed his pleasure in welcoming the Consul General and the delegation, and extended his wishes for health, happiness, and success for the new year 2026.

In providing an overview of the socio-economic development of Hue City in 2025, the Secretary of the City Party Committee noted that it was a year of special significance as Hue officially began operating as a centrally-governed municipality model. Despite facing ongoing challenges caused by global economic uncertainties and complex natural disasters, the city’s economy maintained stable growth with an estimated GRDP increase of 8.5% in 2025, ranking 12th out of 34 localities nationwide, thanks to the strong leadership of the City Party Committee and the flexible administration of authorities at all levels.

He also emphasized the vital role of foreign investment projects, including more than 30 Chinese FDI projects with a total registered capital of approximately 787.5 million USD, ranking second among countries and territories investing in Hue.
