Taking advantage of the event being broadcast live on local television, Mr. Tho wanted to send a message to the factors that contributed to the success of Vietnam's and Da Nang's most important foreign affairs event of 2017.
The Chairman of Da Nang stated that APEC 2017 attracted over 4,000 delegates, 3,000 journalists, and 2,000 world-class businesses to the city. The locality successfully coordinated with central government agencies to organize APEC."For almost ten days now, the name Da Nang has resonated, soaring high and spreading far across all major media channels worldwide. This is an opportunity to promote the image of Da Nang to all five continents," Mr. Tho said.
The Chairman of Da Nang acknowledged that during the APEC event, from citizens, officials, civil servants, soldiers to volunteers... everyone braved the rain and wind to join hands in cleaning up and beautifying the streets."We accomplished things nobody thought possible. In the midst of the storm, in just over 10 hours we restored the city to its former beauty, much to the surprise of our friends and international guests," he emphasized.
According to the Chairman of Da Nang, this demonstrates the consensus, sharing, and sense of responsibility that many people have privately told him "only in Da Nang can this be achieved."

Mr. Tho revealed that, following the success of APEC, many large corporations have come to the city to discuss investment and business opportunities, opening up new prospects for investment. The city government and businesses must seize this opportunity.
However, the Chairman of Da Nang also pointed out some shortcomings during the APEC High-Level Week, such as the recurrence of disorder and littering on the streets while some delegations were still present in Da Nang, and the start of construction work becoming chaotic. He requested that districts, departments, and agencies maintain a clean and green environment.
The APEC 2017 High-Level Week took place from November 6th to 11th. Prior to the event, due to the impact of Typhoon Damrey, the area experienced heavy rain and strong winds. The entrance arch, many trees, and signboards were knocked down.The Chairman of Da Nang has sent a letter calling on citizens to join hands in cleaning up the city and improving its landscape.
