Macao and Vietnam will set up task forces to study bilateral co-operation in six main areas, especially in the field of introducing human resources, the Chief Executive, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, said in Hanoi today. Mr Ho was speaking in the Vietnamese capital during official visit to the country, where he had paid courtesy calls on the Prime Minister of Vietnam, Mr Nguyen Tan Dzung, and the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, Mr Nguyen Van Yeu. Mr Dzung said he hoped that Mr Ho's visit would contribute to the bilateral relationship of Vietnam with China and with Macao, and underlined the successful implementation of the 'One country, two systems' policy, which had been demonstrated by Macao's achievement under the leadership of Mr Ho, the Chief Executive. In the morning, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, Mr Pham Gia Khiem, and Mr Ho signed a summary of their conversation in a meeting. Speaking to the press after several activities, Mr Ho said Macao and Vietnam have agreed to enhance co-operation in six areas, namely trade, investment, labour, tourism, education and culture. Mr Ho described their co-operation would be 'very practical', and would fully harness the advantages of both places. He said that given the rapid development of Macao's tourism industry and its nature of servicing customers worldwide, it would be the necessary for the Government to attract qualified talents from different countries, and he expected further co-operation with Vietnam in this area. Meanwhile, the Macau Government Tourist Office, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute, and the University of Macau signed protocols for co-operation with relevant institutions in Vietnam. The Macao Foundation and some Macao businesspeople donated US$500,000 to victims in central Vietnam to rebuild their homes which were damaged by recent typhoons.
