Delighted that the city successfully organized APEC, the Chairman of Da Nang City affirmed that this event had great contributions from the people.

On November 14, Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City Huynh Duc Tho spent more than 15 minutes at the program "People's Council with voters" to express gratitude to civil servants, soldiers, and people who joined hands to make the APEC 2017 Summit Week a success.

Chairman of Da Nang City People's Committee Huynh Duc Tho expressed gratitude to the people at the People's Council's program which was broadcast live.

In the next few days, the City People's Committee will summarize the work of organizing APEC. Taking advantage of the event being broadcast live on local television, Mr. Tho would like to send a message to the factors that contributed to the success of the most important foreign event of 2017 for Vietnam and Da Nang.

The Chairman of Da Nang said that APEC 2017 had more than 4,000 delegates, 3,000 journalists and 2,000 world-class enterprises coming to the city. The locality coordinated with central agencies to successfully organize APEC."For nearly ten days, the two words Da Nang have resounded, flying high, reaching far, spreading widely on all major media channels in the world. That is an opportunity to promote the image of Da Nang to all five continents," said Mr. Tho.

The Chairman of Da Nang assessed that during APEC, from the people, officials, civil servants, soldiers to volunteers... did not hesitate to brave the rain and wind to join hands to clean up and beautify the streets."We have done things that no one thought possible. In the storm, in just over 10 hours we made the city beautiful again, surprising our friends and international guests," he emphasized.

According to the Chairman of Da Nang, this demonstrates consensus, sharing, and a sense of responsibility that many people have privately told him "can only be done in Da Nang".

"On behalf of the Party Committee and the City Government, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to every citizen, civil servant, armed force, business... who has unconditionally supported the city to contribute to the success of APEC 2017," he said.

Mr. Tho revealed that from the success of APEC, many large corporations have come to the city to discuss investment and business, opening up new prospects for investment. The city government and businesses must know how to seize this opportunity.

However, the Chairman of Da Nang also pointed out some shortcomings during the APEC Summit Week, such as when some delegations had not yet left Da Nang, chaos reoccurred, littering on the streets, and construction projects began to fall into disarray. He requested that districts, departments, and branches maintain a clean and green environment.

The APEC 2017 Summit Week took place from November 6 to 11. Before the event, due to the impact of Typhoon Damrey, the area experienced heavy rain and wind. The welcome gate, many trees and signs were knocked down.The Chairman of Da Nang has sent a letter calling on people to join hands in cleaning up the city and making it beautiful.
