Secretary of the Can Tho Party Committee Nguyen Van Hieu said that Can Tho is inviting strategic investors to invest, especially in education, health care, and high-tech agriculture to adapt to climate change. Can Tho also needs resources in infrastructure, particularly projects related to preventing flooding, landslides, embankments, and tidal culverts.

To offer new jobs for people whose income is currently relying on the canals, the city also focuses on developing industrial infrastructure to attract large businesses to invest.

For his part, Ambassador Andrew Goledzinowski said Vietnam, particularly the Mekong Delta region, has had many solutions to problems such as saltwater intrusion, livelihood transformation, and landslides.

These solutions have shown certain results. However, there are still limitations such as building dikes to prevent saltwater intrusion will leave consequences for flooding; Improper exploitation of underground water resources will lead to subsidence and landslides...

Ambassador Andrew Goledzinowski hopes the two sides will further promote cooperation in high-tech agriculture to adapt to climate change.

Appreciating the potential, strengths, and increasingly open business and investment environment in Can Tho, he expects many Australian businesses and investors to come and explore investment cooperation opportunities in the city.
