Da Nang seeks US investors

The central city of Da Nang has been calling for investment from US businesses in solar energy, electronics production, waste treatment and seaport and airport management.

Da Nang People's Committee chairman Van Huu Chien issued the call during a trip to the US cities of San Francisco and San Jose this week.

On his US visit, Chien also signed a memorandum of understanding on friendship and co-operation with representatives of the city of Houston.

Chien said the city would create favourable conditions for the SunPower Co to invest in renewable energy projects in Da Nang, which has set a goal to become a green city by 2020.
