Do Thanh Trung, Deputy Secretary of the Hai Phong Party Committee and Chairman of the City People's Committee, on August 6 afternoon received a delegation of US businesses and investors led by Graham Barker, Deputy Economic Counselor and Head of the Trade and Investment Section at the US Embassy in Vietnam, and Patrick Sweeney, founder of American Kestrel Global Strategies Group. The delegation visited Hai Phong to learn about the city's potential, strengths and investment incentive policies.

Speaking at the meeting, Trung highlighted several sectors with potential for future cooperation and investment by the US businesses, including artificial intelligence, high-tech industries, logistics, green energy development, international trade, finance and shipbuilding.

The city pledged to stand alongside the US businesses and investors throughout their exploration of partnership and investment opportunities, supporting them in operating effectively so they can achieve their business goals while delivering tangible benefits to the city and its residents, in line with the principle that “the success of businesses is also the success of Hai Phong.”
