Dung agreed with the exchange contents of Indian Ambassador and affirmed that Hanoi is ready to contact and dialogue with businesses, including Indian sides to call for investment, explain investment policies, attract businesses to cooperate. The city is also willing to send officials to attend conferences and forums in India to introduce Hanoi's investment attraction policies.
